I met my battalion while deployed to Okinawa about half way through and was put in the ward room working with the CS's for the last three months. Now in home port we still have people assigned to work FSA with the CS's. It is always junior personnel and usually for a 3 month stint. Good news is that you usually only have to do this once.

This is different from the TAD everyone dreads right?

I can't speak for Naval Bases... but all the Naval Air Stations I've been stationed on have dedicated CS' at the galley, supplemented as needed by civilians. PACT or junior personnel go TAD within their squadrons, or occasionally staff the barracks.

Negative. Cranking is TAD, and since it's practically inevitable it's probably exactly what you're thinking of. But it's not THAT bad.

hold up?! There is a 1 point wavier?! People have mentioned it, but i thought they were kidding!! I am missing MC by 1 point! I got 114 and I need 115! My recruiter doesnt want me retaking the asvab because I got the score I needed for my top job and she doesnt want me to take a chance of ruining it. But MC was gonna be my second choice but I missed it by 1 point. Can someone please explain this to me?!?!

Sorry for randomly coming in. Saw the subject and my heart jumped!!!! hahahha

As far as I'm aware there is no waiver for the score; you can only retake the ASVAB as a whole. If you do better, then you get a better score. If you do worse though, that is now the score you have to work with. It's a gamble really.

And if you got the score you needed for your top pick, why bother going back to qualify for your second pick? That doesn't make any sense!
