SEAMAN PACT to GM - 1 point waiver help!

Your chances of retaking the ASVAB prior to shipping out as Undes is very unlikely... Recruiters need to fill quotas for PACT, and ASVAB retests are usually only done if someone fails so they can join. Simply put, you're already a check-mark on your recruiting station's monthly quota board.

The plus side is, you can retake the ASVAB once you're active duty... when the time comes that you're eligible to strike for a rating, you're also in more control of your affairs than you are as a Future Sailor. Right now, you have a recruiter who handles all affairs with MEPS and has ultimate authority over you leaving for RTC. In the fleet, you're going to have a career councilor who's office you can effectively occupy and who's presence you can annoy daily in order to get what you want... in this case, an ASVAB re-test.
