ASVAB question....

Meh

 

You say he's failing but, in what way?

 

Is he failing on purpose because he doesn’t actually want to join the Marines but doesn’t want to say it and disappoint you?

Depending on the job he’s wanting he doesn’t have to do much more than put his name in the paper, have a pulse and his scores will be good enough.

 

This.

The really high scores only matter for specific jobs, and even those that qualify score-wise end up choosing a different MOS anyway.

 

What does he want to do anyway?

He could always go to school on that scholarship, and join the Marines as an officer.

 

Not trying to be mean but there's not much talk about it because it's pretty unheard of for someone who actually wants to join. I'm sure you're aware, different jobs just require different scores in different areas while still meeting the minimum score....which in reality isn't high at all.

 

There are better paths to such a career.

 

What's been the reasoning for not being able to obtain a waiver?

 

There's a waiver for everything, but not every waiver gets approved. Is there a specific branch he wants. What branch recruiter are you working with? Active? National guard?
