When enlisting in the Air Force, all new recruits are able to select a job, called Air Force Specialty Codes, or AFSC’s.
But first they have to meet the minimum qualifications for that job, including a minimum score on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB.
The ASVAB determines which skills the test-taker has an aptitude for and where in the military they may excel.
Anyone wanting to enter the Air Force must score a minimum of 31 on the ASVAB if they are a high school senior on track to graduate and 50 if they obtained their GED.
The Air Force then looks at a potential recruit’s score on 4 areas of the ASVAB: Mechanical (M), Administrative (A), General (G), and Electronics (E).
These scores are a combination of subtests on the ASVAB, and are calculated as follows:
A = Numerical Operations (NO) + Coding Speed (CS) + Verbal Expression (WK + PC)
G = Verbal Expression (WK + PC) + Arithmetic Reasoning (AR)
E = Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) + Mathematics Knowledge (MK) + Electronics Information (EI) + General Science (GS)
M = Mechanical Comprehension (MC) + General Science (GS) + 2X Auto & Shop Information (AS)
Each job requires a minimum score in one or more areas.
The Air Force divides AFSC’s into 9 areas:
- Operations
- Logistics
- Support
- Medical
- Paralegal and Chaplain assistant
- Contracting and financial
- Special investigations
- Special duty identifiers
- Reporting identifiers
Each specialty is identified by a 5-digit Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC).
Here is a list of all Air Force AFSC’s from the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory, along with the minimum ASVAB score needed to qualify.

Swimsuit ads, while nice to look at, have no place on this site of descriptions of military jobs. The Air Force, like all branches of the military, are apolitical, meaning they have no political agendas. We are not allowed to express our political views, therefore, political ads, like the ones from Amy Mc Graff also have no place on this site. I have marked all these ads on this site as “inappropriate.” THEY DO NOT BELONG HERE.
Hey Robert,
I have no control over what types of ads are shown on this site. It’s all controlled by the company that hosts them (Mediavine), and Googles ad platform. With that said, marking them as ‘inappropriate’ is about the best thing you can do for this. Hope this helps, take care.
