I left the Navy Nuclear program after eight and a half, the financial returns in the commercial industry were too great for me to pass up, but I know what you mean about getting into a narrow billet availability especially for shore duty, pretty much Nuclear School or Prototype instructor slots...

The test scores don't count during wartime from what I was told about Vietnam. one day you are a cook the next you might be doing something other than being a cook or an office person. .
The GCT-ARI system dates back to WWII while the ASVAA/B was first introduced in 1968 and was adopted by all branches of the military in 1976. I left the Navy Nuclear Program in the late 70's so my first hand knowledge of their specific differences is only their timeline...

@@NauticalPappyStu ASVAB is what is used these days. The primary thing is that it is computer-based testing, and some sections scale according to competence. E.g. If you are getting questions right, it keeps giving you harder questions. It is broken up into a number of different sections, such as Arithmetic, language skills, mechanical, spatial awareness, etc. Each branch utilizes it differently, but for the Navy it considers 2 things. First is your overall percentile score, called the AFQT which caps out at 99. This is what they compare to in order to determine basic eligibility to join. Second is your individual line scores composited different ways. Different rates have different combinations of line scores that they have to make. So, for example, even though the AW cluster and the AE/ATs have a very similar overall score, they look at a different set of subcategories to build that composite score.
Really are you kidding me, only a minimum ASVAB of 50 for becoming a SO (SEAL), they ain't Marine Grunts now surely there has to be an error here, 2.5 years of training at NSWC to be an SO and an SB has a better ASVAB ????
@@oitnb_lover6506 fire weapons, not exactly. If you want to travel and fire weapons and live on the ship, then you might want to be a GM (Gunners mate) or one of the AW's.
@Brandon Rodriguez Jaime, there is no ASVAB score for MU - someone wanting to be a MU needs to audition and pass the ASVAB with at least the minimal score, which was 31 at the time of this video (lower now). They put 31QT (minimal ASVAB score), but 31 AFQT may have avoided confusion 👍
I get Chills seeing that female sailor. I am 81yrs now, served on Destroyers. Just before I entered the Navy they had done away with Right Arm rates. Deck Rates BM, QM, SM, GM, TM, etc. Women were considered a Jinx on a Ship. Oh well, I am Confused by this Modern Era.

Someone answer this. Is the Navy able to pick a job and I mean the recruiters or do you pick the job at MEPS.
You pick it at meps
You pick it at meps but there is no guarantee
Wait so if I want to pick one of these positions my grades test score has the be that big of a number?
Same I’m confused
Nah it’s based on a line score, different sections scores of the ASVAB all added up to equal 184 for example
@@beachfluffman6420 Navy doesn’t use the line score system.

Since when can you get over a 99? Tf?
How overmanned is HM right now? I'm interested in it but want a job that I'm guaranteed to get.
According to my recruiter it is the most overmanned rating along with MA

Is the navy active duty or only reserves
It's active and reserves.

When I said done away with right arm rates I meant they were all now worn on the left sleeve.

I was in the Navy when they did not have women onboard . and I belive they should not be there now or gays
Nobody asked though…
oh yeah, because there's totally not a bunch of scrawny over weight straight men who shouldn't be there either. stfu lmao
