I guess all I can do is see what the recruiter says. 30 days I can re-test. I better pickup a study guide and study my math.

Then you're perfect fodder for the Marines. "You've got 30 shots left soldier, and your M-16 is capable of 200 shots per minute. 30 times 200 is 6000. There's only about 50 enemies on that hillside, CHARGE!"

The M16 is capable of 800 rounds per minute. That's like 10 times as much as 200. So he could kill like a thousand soldiers, not just 50. Fool!
By the way, that answer scores a 46 on the ASVAB. So yeah, a 38? I dunno....

For current AFQT scores, the reference group is a sample of 18 to 23 year old youth who took the ASVAB as part of a national norming study conducted in 1997. Thus, an AFQT score of 90 indicates that the examinee scored as well as or better than 90% of the nationally-representative sample of 18 to 23 year old youth."

38th percentile? How do you breathe?

I got a 98 and asked a Marine recruiter what job would I be able to get. He told me that I could have gotten anything I wanted and said if I did join and request to be infantry, he would kick me out for being a dumbass.

Back in my day they used GT scores - you took the ASVAB but they scored you with a GT score.
Max was 130, you needed like a 50 to get in the service and needed to score I think 100 to re-enlist. If you did not have 100 upon enlisting they sent you to school on weeknights while you were on active duty in the hoped you would test higher and then could re-enlist.
I was active duty '93 - '96.
Qualifying scores.
(a) A minimum score of 90 in aptitude area OF in Armed Services Vocational aptitude Battery (ASVAB) tests administered prior to 2 January 2002.
(b) A minimum score of 85 in aptitude area OF on ASVAB tests administered on and after 2 January 2002.
