AFQT

FY 2001 Selected Reserve NPS accessions are compared with civilian youth by AFQT category, gender, and Reserve Components in Table 5.7. The percentage of Reserve male recruits who scored in AFQT Categories I to IIIA was greater than for comparable civilians (56 versus 54 percent). Sixty-one to 76 percent of ARNG and USMCR NPS male accessions were in AFQT Categories I through IIIA, compared to 54 percent in the civilian group. A higher percentage of ARNG, USAR, USMCR, and ANG NPS female recruits scored in AFQT categories I-IIIA (55, 50, 78 and 50 percent, respectively) compared to 49 percent in the comparable female civilian group.
