score past a 35 so you can do what you want.

only 1.1% are pilots. chances of seeing war are 1 and infinity. i say go for it. statistically, you're safer in the airforce then at home.


For him to be competitive to join he would need to score a 50 QT. Less than 1 percent join with less than a 50 (special cases). Also 4 percent are pilots. Not trying to bust your balls, but just get the most current info out there.


You guys talking about the qualifications test that you take before you join the military?  It would probably be wise to score 70+.  I was about to join the Coast Guard a few years back and took the test.  I got a high 90 with barely any study (I brushed up on my basic math equations like how to find the area of a rectangle, etc).  I thought I did terrible when I turned the test in (thinking I probably got a 70 or so).  It blew my mind when they presented me with the high 90 score.  I think it is because some sections they don't totally grade you on like the automotive section or where you gotta figure out how the shapes line up and which way belts should go to get a package to move on it.  Those might just be bonus points and if you get them right then they add to your score but nothing subtracted when answering wrong.

I'm guessing the QT is the test I took when I first went to the recruiting office so I'm not worried about that, I know scored somwhere between a 90 and 96.

That will mean you can almost pick anything you want beside maybe a pilot considering that probably involves other factors (eye sight, etc).  You can probably qualify for an intelligence job or something high up.  With a 90+ score you have a decent amount of options available to you.  Basically, you aren't a grunt.
