I am talking about the score they hand you immediately after the test, not the individual sections and what not. ---

there is the composite breakdown and the overall, the overall is based off of 99 points, (used to be 97 when i took it) the only real important score is the gt (general technical) if its over 110 then your able to go into most technical fields. Good luck and happy hunting. ---

That would explain their scores. ---

Any Q’s about flightline AF life I can probably answer. But I would recommend a job that can get you paid in the Civ world. Not that many privately owned ‘tactical’ aircraft around. ---

I ship on may 25, 2006. there is an option that wan’t given to you, which is SF straight from basic. if you went 11B with the hopes of SF just know that it will not happen in an instant, and you might have to re-enlist to go the SF route. Congrats, on the enlistment, what is your BCT post location? ---

> [@sprfreek](#): > > good job grunt work is where it’s at … plus promotions are really quick …you’ll learn to love being a grunt … it’s much more fun that those “technical” jobs I worked a “technical job” and got to spend 1,600 hours in a chinook, fixing the best technology around, chasing bad guys at 100ft with guns rocking, and spent every night in a warm tent. Grunt work is fun, but its tough on the body, and you realize its not so fun when the helicopters fly overhead on their way to the camp site, while your humping it with a 40lb ruck. and you don’t get FAA licenses for getting your expert qual on the M-16 or MK19, but you do with a boring “technical” jobs 🙂 ---
