U.S. Air Force AFSCs and ASVAB Requirements

In the U.S. Air Force, jobs are referred to as “Air Force Specialty Codes” (AFSCs). Each AFSC has specific ASVAB score requirements, which help determine eligibility based on a recruit’s aptitude in various areas. The Air Force uses “line scores” derived from ASVAB subtest scores to match recruits with AFSCs that align with their skills and abilities.

Here is a comprehensive list of all U.S. Air Force AFSCs and their corresponding ASVAB requirements:
