Your ASVAB score determines both your eligibility to enlist in a specific military branch and the range of jobs you qualify for within that branch. Here is an overview based on typical ASVAB score requirements and job qualifications:

Minimum ASVAB Scores to Enlist by Branch

• Army: 31
• Navy: 35
• Air Force: 31 (50 for GED holders)
• Marine Corps: 32
• Coast Guard: 40
• Space Force: Around 31 minimum, but many jobs require scores in the 60s

How ASVAB Scores Affect Job Qualification

• Your AFQT score (based on Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Word Knowledge, and Paragraph Comprehension) determines if you can enlist.
• Your line scores (combinations of ASVAB subtests) determine which Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), ratings, or specialties you qualify for.

Examples of Jobs by Branch and Required ASVAB Scores

Branch| Job Example| Required Line Score(s) or AFQT Score
---|---|---
Army| Infantry (11B)| Combat (CO) score ≥ 87
| Cyber Operations Specialist| GT ≥ 110 and Skilled Technical (ST) ≥ 112
| Human Resources Specialist| Clerical (CL) ≥ 90
Navy| Electronics Technician (ET)| AR + MK + EI + GS ≥ 222
| Nuclear Field (NF)| VE + AR + MK + MC ≥ 252
| Corpsman (HM)| VE + MK ≥ 146
Air Force| Security Forces (3P0X1)| General (G) ≥ 33
| Cyber Systems Operations| Electronics (E) ≥ 70
| Aircraft Loadmaster| General (G) ≥ 57
Marine Corps| Rifleman (0311)| GT ≥ 80
| Electronics Maintenance| EL ≥ 105
Coast Guard| Electrician’s Mate (EM)| MK + AR + EI ≥ 220
| Maritime Enforcement Specialist| VE + AR + MK ≥ 162
Space Force| Intelligence Analyst| General score ≥ 46
| Space Systems Operator| Electronics score ≥ 60

If your ASVAB score meets the minimum AFQT for a branch, you then look at line scores for specific jobs. Higher scores open up more technical and specialized roles such as cyber operations, aviation maintenance, nuclear field, intelligence, and special operations

. To determine exactly which jobs you qualify for, you should:

• Identify your AFQT score to confirm enlistment eligibility.
• Review your line scores in relevant areas (e.g., Electronics, Mechanical, Clerical).
• Compare your scores with the requirements of jobs in your desired branch.
• Consult a military recruiter who can provide a detailed list of available jobs based on your exact ASVAB scores.

This approach will help you find the military career paths that best match your aptitude as demonstrated by your ASVAB results.
