Lets talk about the ASVAB.
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is the entrance test to enlist in the US Military. You can't enlist in the US Military without taking the ASVAB.The ASVAB contains nine separately timed sub-tests.
1.General Science (GS) - 25 questions concerning general high school-level science (biology, chemestry, physics, environmental science, astronomy, ect.) with an 11 minute time-limit.
2. Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) - 30 math word problems with a 36 minute time-limit.
3.Word Knowledge (WK) - 35 question vocabulary test, with an 11 minute time-limit.
4. Paragraph Comprehension (PC) - 15 reading comprehension questions with a 13 minute time-limit.
5. Auto & Shop (AS) - 25 questions about principles of automobiles and recognition of common tools, with an 11 minute time-limit.
6. Mathematics Knowledge (MK) - 25 math questions with a 24 minute time-limit.
7. Mechanical Comprehension (MC) - 25 questions concerning mechanical principles, with a 19 minute time-limit.
8. Electronics Information (EI) - 20 questions about basic electronics, with a 9 minute time-limit.
9.Assembling Objects (AS) - 16 questions, which measure your ability with spatial relationships, with a 9 minute time-limit.
Most people that take this test fail it. I am one of them. If your one of them, don't feel dumb it is not a IQ test. The AFQT (Armed Forces Qualification Test) score is the most important ASVAB score, because it determines whether you can join the military service of your choice. Many people think the AFQT score is the overall ASVAB score, but that's not correct. In fact, the AFQT score is derived from only four of the nine ASVAB sub-tests: Paragraph Comprehension (PC), Word Knowledge (WK), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), and Arithmetic Reasoning (AR). Pretty much if you do well in these parts you'll have a good score, the other part are just to bring up other scores.
My experience with the ASVAB, its just goes over everything you learned in high school, Mostly i slept in high school and skipped class. I just smooth talked most of my teachers or was very nice to them to pass me lol. Military.com has some good sub-test but it didn't help that much. I used a online tutor called yourteacher.com you have to pay for it[it is wroth it]. my second score of the ASVAB AFQT was a 28 it jumped to 41 the third time so it does work. I over heard some Recruiter talking and heard one say 'this is the hardest thing for getting in the Military' i think he was kidding. If you want something you will have to work for it, you can do anything if you set your mind to it and i proved it. 38 days and a wake up.

First PT test.
My first Army PT test i took the 1-1-1[13 push ups, 17 sit ups and run one mile in 8:30 is the minimum] i did 29 push ups,27 sit ups and ran one mile in 8:04. I was disappointed at my push ups because i max out at 38 two days ago but i did work out hard a day before the test. The sit ups i was happy with and my run was ok it could have been better. I'm shooting for 45 push ups, 35 sit ups and 7:40 one mile run. the next PT test is in three weeks. after that i might take the 2-2-2. To pass the 2-2-2 you need to do 35 push ups, 47 sit ups and run 2 miles in 16:35.

Pre basic training
The Army PFT standards are made into three category. The push ups, the sit ups and the timed 2 mile run.
For my age to max out the pt test i need to do 71 push ups,78 sit ups, and run the timed 2 miles in 13 mins.
I have never been timed so i don't know my score but as of right now i can do 37 push ups max, 25 sit up and run a mile in 8:30.
To pass basic training you need to run 2 miles in 16:36, 47 sit ups and 35 push ups.so i'm not to bad off.
I'm now starting a new intense training witch will last 7 weeks.
Monday-run 2 miles, gym, and situps 5 sets of 25 with 1 1/2 min rest.
Tuesdays- sprints 30/60 4 sets, push ups 30 reps 10 sets with 2 min rest and one max.
Wednesday-run 1.5 miles, leg raises 100 reps, push ups 50 reps with 10 reps 5 sets with 10 sec rest.
Thrusday-i have future soldier training, and after that i hit the gym
Friday- sprints 30/60 4 sets, push ups 30 reps with 10 sets. and 100 reps of leg raises.
Saturday- run 2 miles in under 18 mins, push ups 30 reps with 3 sets with 5 sec rest.
Sunday- rest.
Every week i increase the push ups and sit ups by 5 and the running sets by 1. and the mile by 1/4 of a mile.
at the end of this training i should be at 65 push ups, 55 sit ups, and run 2 miles in 15 mins.
Edit: I found out if you run every day on concrete its bad for you so limit the running to 4 times a weeks max.

Before meps experience and meps experience
Meps was not as bad as i though it would be, it was a big hurry up and wait thing and we did a lot of waiting. I finally went down to meps February 7, 2011, 5 months after i first talked to a recruiter. i was over weight. and didn't take the asvab yet. I finally got my weight down and then took the asvab and i got a 25 on it, i was so disappointed.I waited a month to retake it and got a 28 on it. The truth was i was pissed. Two times i took this test and failed it. I found a online tutor and finally passed it with a 41.
A weeks later i was heading to meps proud that didn't give up, most people quit after then failed the asvab, most all of them quit when they fail it the second time. I got to the hotel February 7 and sighed in. This hotel was a 5 star hotel the one we slept in was more like a motel lol, it sucked. I got in my room and the room looked like the scene for the Hangover, our bed were trashed, girls underwear were in the bathroom. lol. It was dinner call and we ate at the 5 star hotel, it had more junk food there then real food. I ate the chicken there it was good, time to sleep.
I got an hour of sleep. There was a party outside and it was too loud to sleep. My roommate was gone his ship date got changed because it was storming in Chicago. Navy boot camp. I was all alone in my room bored to death. Got the wake up call at 4:30. we all went to the 5 star hotel to eat, i didn't eat much there, i was to nervous about gaining weight. We got there and we started to fill out paper work, then the first thing i had to do was to pee. i was saving it for the pee test. I got my blood pressure done, hearing, eye test, blood drown, then the pee test, there was a total of 10 other men i there, the flow started going good then it stopped. lol then i started thinking of a river flowing. It works.
After that i had to spread them and cough. that part sucked. i finally got sworn in and took the oath. i was proud of myself for the first time in years.
Images this was the dirty room, i couldn't take a picture of the underwear in the bathroom, i was ROTFL.

all by myself. bored.
