Figure 6-13.–ASVAB subtest and derived score information.
Nuclear Field Qualifying Test
All applicants for enlistment whose ASVAB
composite
meets Nuclear Field (NF) program
requirements will take the NFQT. Potential candidates
include the top one-third of high school graduation
classes and those with a C average or better in 1 year
of algebra. The NFQT is a 2-hour, 80-question
examination that can be administered by the test control
officer (TCO), classifier, recruiter-classifier (designated
in writing by the CO), the NRD ED SPEC, and
designated assistant test control officers (ATCOs).
Retests on the NFQT are not authorized. Because of the
nature of this examination, recruiters may want to
schedule the NFQT before enlistment processing. The
NFQT may be given in high schools to advanced math
and science classes or at a central point for select
groups. The NFQT is often referred to as the advanced
programs test to alleviate applicants’ feelings of failure
if they do not attain a qualifying NFQT score. They can
still qualify for other programs, such as advanced
technical or advanced electronics fields.
Defense Language Aptitude Battery
The DLAB is a language aptitude test given to all
candidates for the Cryptologic Technician - Interpreter
(CTI) rating. Authorized test administrators must be
designated in writing. They may include the TCO,
classifiers, ED SPECS, and ATCOs, Retest authorization
may be requested from the Bureau of Naval Personnel
(PERS-23).
PREENLISTMENT KITS
Recruiting supervisors
must be cognizant of
preenlistment document quality control. Recruiters and
RINCs should understand that they are attesting to the
accuracy and completeness of the preenlistment paper
work and supporting documentation when they put their
signatures on the kit envelope. The processor who
initially screens the preenlistment kit at MEPS begins
a kit error feedback form that is continued during the
applicant’s processing. At the end of the day the
Enlisted Processing Division Supervisor (EPDS) will
forward a copy of the completed form to the Enlisted
