I tell you what, gd, you're definately going to be more prepared than most of the other recruit candidates. I was three years out of high school and did NOTHING to prepare. I did happen to score high on the ASVAB and I was still in excellent shape, but I still feel it was foolish of me not to prepare. JJ is right on about scoring as high as possible on the ASVAB. It's not difficult to pass, but the higher score the better. You could have your pick of any MOS out there. Also, are you a good swimmer? It's something that needs to be considered when applying for those SF type jobs.
