What the Navy asks for on the ASVAB: the minimum AFQT to enlist, how its line scores
match you to a job, and sample roles with the scores they need. We are clear about what comes
from an official source and what is commonly cited.

Minimum to enlist
The minimum AFQT only gets you in the door. The jobs you actually want will ask for higher line
scores - see below.
Line scores / composites
The Navy does not use named line scores. Instead each rating (job) requires a specific sum of named subtests (for example AR + MK + EI + GS for electronics ratings).
