Question
hey guys what is the deal with haveing to score a 65 on the asvab if you have had a bad credit card. i scored a 63 on the asvab and they told me i couldnt join, because i needed to score a 65 in order to get some sort of waiver, aand even know i have paid it off it was still on my credit report  and i could get a note saying that the company can take it off they wont re-pull my credit report   is there anything i can do to correct this situation?????

Answer
I would clear your credit report first, and then once that's taken care of take your documents to the recruiter and go from there. They will always re-pull your credit report and you can also re-take the ASVAB which isnt bad. just keep trying and all will be ok.
