Military service is one of the major possible post high school career choices.  Today's military offers outstanding educational opportunities along with the pride of serving the nation.  And times of economic downturn make a stint in the armed services even more attractive. 

 

Don't make the mistake that getting into the military is easy, however.  Students interested in a career in the military will need to score high enough to meet the cut score for the branch they want on the ASVAB, the military's entrance and specialty area guidance tool.  Remember, the ASVAB QT score listed in the notes below is a minimum.  Every branch is really looking for recruits who score above that  minimum.  Also, no branches are currently accepting anything less than a high school diploma.  The GED is not accepted.
