Question
My son cannot pass math in the asvab due to learning disability. Basically they told him he could not enlist. is this true?
Unless he can pass it, yes it is. My suggestion is if he can retain what hes learned, get the ASVAB study guide. Get a tutor to help him learn whats in the study guide.. Im have the same issue, but I had to teach myself to learn from it rather than thinking if it as a disability or a hinderance.. I have to work harder...but Im in! !
He can do it, just have to get him pumped!!

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
