You only need a 39 to get in, and the only job left for you with that low of a score IS infantry. Or a cook or something, lol. Anything above 50 is usually considered above average.. I myself scored a 72

Im a recruiter here in New Jersey and all you need to be Infantry is a 31 AFQT and a GT of 80. If you have any questions feel free to ask I cant put you in since you in Cali so no reason for me to lie.

Re: need some marine advice
once you graduate SOI you can try out for recon. Then later down the road you can try out for Force Recon.

I scored 92 on mine. Always get your chit in writing. As far as Intel I can say this because I have friends in Intel. You will promote faster in that Mos. It is also very hard to get into Intel and alot of cool chit that goes with it. You gotta have clearances and chit. If I had it to do all over again I would have went for it.

Well Force Recon isn't a Marine Corps capability anymore... well officially at least. They came out with MARSOP(Marine Special Operations Platoon). Force Recon still lives unofficially as D Company in all the Recon Bns. But I live on Camp Magarita in Camp Pendleton California which is also home to the 1st Recon Bn and trust me if you try out you will make the indoc. The indoc is easy its the school that sucks.

Arnold... what a motovater. No, its not the school that sucks, or the indoc. Its training platoon that thrashes the **** out of you. You can get a 2 on the asvab and still get in. All you need is a waver. The Marines have a waiver for EVERYTHING.... EVERY FREAKIN THING.
If you go to recon all youll be is a glorified grunt. Same thing as infantry except you get an M4 and Okley glasses. As a grunt you get a 16, or M4 and ESS Glasses.
Alls the same. Just recon thinks their **** doesnt stink... cause they **** in bags and take it with them...
