minimum ASTB scores

[ColdSteel]

Does anyone know what the minimum ASTB scores are for pilot and for NFO (x/x/x)?

I believe that the "min" is a 4 for all.

Nah it cant be, Ive scored higher scores than that (5/5/6) and they denied me a pilot slot.

I put in quotation minimum because that is the minimum that CAN be accepted. Same thing like GPA a 2.7 is the minimum for BDCP but if someone applies with a 2.7 its going to be a pretty chilly day in hell when they get accepted when competition is high, like it is right now. You want at LEAST 6 and 7's on those scores, but those numbers don't make the package, you can overcome those scores with a good OAR and GPA and bla bla bla.

Depends on the branch I believe. I'm not sure about Navy/Coast Guard as I have not tested for these branches, but for the Marine Corp, the minimum is 4/6/6. For the Navy, I think I remember something along the lines of 4/5/5, but don't quote me on that.

Im pretty sure the navy just raised it to 4/5/5 from 3/4/4 recently. I could be mistaken, but Marine Corps is 5/6/6, or triple 6. Obviously the higher you score the better, but your selection depends also upon what method you are attempting to become a SNA/SNFO from (academy, rotc, ocs) ROTC and the Academy have more slots for aviators every year then OCS, so having astronomical scores is not as important when applying through those to accession programs.

I talked with my marine OSO today the min is a 4/6/6 but i would not wry as much about the test scores for the marines, because the OSO told me that half the package is the OSO evaluation of you to the board. he said that someone with a 2.4 can be excepted with a good OSO recommendation. the second largets percentage for the marines is the PFT . . . do good on that and be nice to the OSO and you should be good for the marines

horse ****...there is a minimal score for the flight test,,,so no matter how good you are at other things, if you dont make that minimal score, or above, then you will not get a flight contract. You may get a ground, but not air..

of course there is a minimum stevo01, clearly if you had read my statement above you would have read that there is a minimum of 4/6/6 . . . however; my OSO told me that if u get the min's, then what matters most after that is PFT and OSO reccomendation. try to get off your high horse next time before you start goin off on people buddy.
