My brother decided to enlist in the U.S. Army Reserves, and before taking the ASVAB, he was assigned a automated logistics specialist (basically warehouse stuff). He got a 91 on the ASVAB, and he was reassigned a different job... Carpentry and Masonry specialist in the engineering unit. I don't know much about this stuff, but I want to do some research myself... What are the benefits of earning a higher score on the ASVAB? with his current score, what are some other options he can explore?
