Answer
Dear Jayshree --

All the military services use the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to determine whether a candidate is intellectually fit for military service and also to determine the fields of endeavor most suitable for the candidate.

These tests are standardized tests given throughout the year.  To find out when you could take a test, you must visit a Navy recruiter, since the Navy is your service of interest.

To prepare for this test, you can study one of the self-paced workbooks available in any of the larger book stores or the on-line book stores.  The titles will contain "ASVAB" if you wish to do a general search.  In the bookstores you are likely to find these study guides in the self-help sections.

The results of your ASVAB will determine the military occupational specialties the Navy offers you.  Your educational focus should help you do well on the portions of the test that predict skill with computers, but does not guarantee you will do well enough to qualify for a computer job.

Congratulations on your graduation from high school.  Good luck with your ASVAB test.
