MILITARY

To join the enlisted ranks, in general you must:

Be a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder.
Be in good health.
Be 17 to 40 years old (different branches have different age requirements)
Have a high school diploma
Pass the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test.

The ASVAB is offered each fall and spring at Billings Senior High School.

Taking the ASVAB does not mean that you will be joining the military, but is an opportunity for students to identify potential career paths.
