	ASVAB Testing : Youth & Militarism : AFSC
		ASVAB is part of a larger program, the Department of Defense Testing Program (commonly known as the "Career Exploration Program"), through which students can take surveys about their interests, identify personal characteristics, and use ASVAB scores to match their backgrounds to possible careers.
		Because the skills needed for military jobs are often different from those needed for civilian jobs, the ASVAB test may not really tell a student what he or she is qualified to do outside the military.
		If the ASVAB is going to be given at your school, or if the military visits your school at other times, demand that school officials let students hear other perspectives on military recruitment and service.

	ASVAB: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?
		According to Joe Flanagan, Army Education Service Officer, "The ASVAB is the `wolf in sheep's clothing' that encourages students to join the military." The ASVAB claims to be a "free" career interest test that the military markets to schools in place of more expensive interest tests.
		Although most students taking the ASVAB are minors, and by law their signature is not considered legal, the military considers this document legally binding.
		One method of dulling the blade of covert military recruiting is to insist that if the ASVAB must be given to students, that it be given in their sophomore year.

	10 Ways to Protect Your Child From the ASVAB - by Dr. Teresa Whitehurst
		I'm sorry to say that, with a few admirable exceptions, American schools are no longer safe places for learning: they've become essential tools in the Pentagon's toolbox, allowing recruiters (and future draft boards) easy access to the children in their care.
		The ASVAB "aptitude" test was news to me; I'd never even heard of it, and the school never asked for parental consent before administering it.
		It is the school's responsibility to protect the children in their care by (a) providing parents and students with honest information about the ASVAB and other recruiting ploys, and (b) requiring parental consent before any child can take the test.
