Military and ROTC Information

U.S. citizens and some non-citizens can join the military. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you must:

• Have a U.S. Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)
• Speak, read, and write English fluently

You cannot join the military to enter the U.S. or to get a visa.

Each branch of the military has age limits to enlist in active duty.

NOTE: In some cases, you can be older to join the U.S. military. Talk to a recruiter to learn more.

ASVAB testing 

Everyone who wants to enlist in the military must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Each branch sets its own minimum score to join. Your score will help decide which jobs you can do after you enlist.

Use ASVAB online resources to:

• Find out where to take the test
• Get tips for taking the test
• See sample questions from the 10 sections
• Understand ASVAB scores

Contact a recruiter to schedule a time to take the ASVAB, and to tell you the needed scores.
