I got an AFQT score of 89 on the ASVAB with a 229 in the Nuclear category and a 219 in the Electronics category. I believe I need a 61 to qualify for the Navy Nuclear Program and was wondering how hard this is to get?
Boot calibrated for posterior targeting.
It's not that hard. When I joined 16 years ago, I took the nuke test in about 30 minutes, and made it.
Based on the scores that I saw guys have, with an 89, you shouldn't have any problem with it.
Generation Gap?
In 1984 I scored a 93 on ASVAB and 72 on NFQT. I had two years of slacking in college and a year working as a logger/farmhand before taking it with no prior study.
My son scored a 96 on the ASVAB and 51 on NFQT. He has a B.S. degree in History, graduating with a 3.80 average. He took it two years (just basically hanging out) after college graduation with no prior study.
Point is, in my opinion, for the NFQT: you either have it or you don't.
