ASVAB Testing
ASVAB Testing
Maybe you are interested in joining the military and becoming part of something bigger than yourself? One way to learn more about your aptitudes and interests is to take the ASVAB test when it is offered at school. You will receive great information back about yourself that may help you plan for the future. Taking the ASVAB doesn't mean you are automatically going to join the service, it is just one more tool to help you make some big decisions.
