Hi, I'm 20 years old and I've been thinking of joining the U.S. Navy. Currently, I'm studying to get a higher ASVAB score. I took the test in high school but my score is low, I didn't take it seriously and I wasn't planning on joining the military back then.
I don't have a problem solving math problems and all but I'm having a hard time defining deep words, since English isn't my native language. But I can speak it clearly and understand it.
I was also naturalized two months ago, that means I am now a U.S. citizen. I've read somewhere that U.S. citizens have more options to choose from, etc. That's why I didn't think twice and applied right away.
Now, my questions: Is it true that the U.S. Navy is overmanned? Does that mean that if I visit my recruiter today, he'd just tell me to come back some other time or something? I'd like to take the ASVAB as soon as possible before I forget all the things I've read. Also, am I too old to join? I have more questions to ask, but I just can't think of any right now. Well, that's it for now. Thanks!

Now, my questions: Is it true that the U.S. Navy is overmanned?yes Does that mean that if I visit my recruiter today, he'd just tell me to come back some other time or something?you cant get that answer here...go see the recruiter I'd like to take the ASVAB as soon as possible before I forget all the things I've read. Also, am I too old to join?i came in at 30 so no at 20 your just fine I have more questions to ask, but I just can't think of any right now. Well, that's it for now. Thanks!
