Forgive the vanity. My son just got back from taking the ASVAB for military service. This test attempts to measure aptitude and abilities for service. The highest possible score is 99. The lowest score for a marine corp officer is 74. He scored a 97. That's the highest score I've ever even heard of. So, proud poppa alert.
What is a good GT score? I’ll check the printout when I can get my hands on it.
Why couldn’t he score 99? /S
Congratulations!
Good now tell him to go see the Coast Guard people.
It will be the best choice of his life.
Remember dad its his choice not yours.
Anything above 110 is considered Above Average.
Here’s to that great feeling of being proud of your children.
I’ll suggest the CG to him. He can already swim like a fish.
I take by your comments and handle that you were in the Coast Guard?
Congratulations and Thanks to You, Your Family and Your Son.
Good luck to your son. Mine just went overseas.
Thank you for having raised an adult, a real man in this day of Caitlyn Jenners and Chelsea Mannings. Thank you also for imbuing him with a love of country.
Here’s wishing him many successes ahead!
Not sure of his quals but CG aviation is the way to go.
If not up front as SAR crew.

That's a piece of printer paper and a piece of charcoal that he made himself. I can't do any of this. I'm scared to death sometimes.
I was in boot camp with a guy that played an instrument.Clarenet I believe(1967).
Well after boot camp I went into aviation and he want into the CG Band and remained there for 25 yeRS.
Traveled the country,played for big time dignitary affairs etc.
Never went to sea or in the air.
Plenty of choices.All ya can do is put them all out there.
Congratulations!!
