Better yet, go to the library! This isn't exactly something you're going to need on your bookshelf for very long. My tiny, local library had several ASVAB prep books to choose from.

My son scored in top 10% on his ASVAB he chose to go into the navy as a IT Specialist, the security clearance was the hardest part, they had to know who and where all immediate family lived.... But we are all Military just not Navy. Most of the family was Marines or Army. I am glad he had a choice of what he wanted to do. He is graduating this month and then heading to Pensacola for IT school!

I am in agreement with Hoppi, my son scored well enought on his ASVAB for Seebee, and has graduated from college for construction engineering but entered the Navy as an IT. And they are overmaned for Seebee's he would have had to wait months to enter as a Seebee, but he is enjoying IT in our Navy.

If he wants welding and plumbing, he can also go in as HT or DC.<br />
<br />
HTs (hull technician) are primarily welders and plumbers, doing shipboard maintenance.<br />
<br />
DC (damage control) fights fires and flooding, but since those are rare, they spend most of their time doing welding and plumbing, or maintaining plumbing systems.<br />
<br />
About 20 years ago HT and DC were the same rating, but the Navy split off DC into its own rating so the Navy could have more firefighting training for some sailors. I've heard…

This is a link to the CREO chart (career reenlistment objectives). The Navy publishes new ones every six months. You'll have to know which rates are seabees to figure it out:<br />

Wow, thanks for the info! My son wanted to know if the Seabees are overmanned at this moment and if there is a chance that a classifier will offer a Seabee position?

My son is a Seabee Mechanic and this is what he says: the ASVAB score wont be a problem as long as ur line scores are good in electrical knowledge and general shop tools. Math is not as important but still good to have a high score. If his main score is above 50 than hes fine but check the actual minimum scores he needs at this site= (<a href="http://www.npc.navy.mil/Enlisted/Seabees/" target="_blank">http://www.npc.navy.mil/Enlisted/Seabees/</a>).

As to going in as another rate he could do it but i dont reccomend it. As with any rating in the navy you can change it after two years and command authorization. If he were to go in as another rate try to find a job within naval expeditionary combat command (<a href="http://www.necc.navy.mil/" target="_blank">http://www.necc.navy.mil/</a>) as the seabees fall within them. Definately wouldnt go undesignated unless he likes chipping paint for two years and he couldnt be a seabee since undesignated personel are typically assigned aboard ships. If you have anymore questions just ask and ill try to answer them to my best ability. Good luck.

My son has been enlisted (and in the DEP program) since last January. He scored very well on his ASVAB and really had a choice of what he wanted to do. He chose Seabees and got a contract right away and a ship date of 1/5/10. Unfortunately, he broke his collarbone and had to have surgery and stuff which delayed everything and he had to pass all his physicals and such before he could get a new contract.

My son has been enlisted (and in the DEP program) since last January. He scored very well on his ASVAB and really had a choice of what he wanted to do. He chose Seabees and got a contract right away and a ship date of 1/5/10. Unfortunately, he broke his collarbone and had to have surgery and stuff which delayed everything and he had to pass all his physicals and such before he could get a new contract. When he finally was able to go back to MEPS, they didn't have anything open for him in the fields he was willing to sign for. However, he was top on the list to get something as soon as it opened up which happend just 2 days later and he left for boot camp yesterday. That process took only 3 weeks. So when it feels like its a hurry up and wait thing, it can turn around in no time and they can be gone before you know it. My son also goes to A school in Missouri right after boot camp graduation. I'm certainly no expert on anything, but that's how things went for us. Hope that helps a little. Good luck!!

Does the book he's using have practice tests? I got a book from the library for my son that was just like the GED or ACT prep books and had several practice tests. Then he will know if he needs to work harder on any areas.
