Are you a Eagle Scout? Naval Sea Cadets? Civil Air Patrol? Do you have the Billy Mitchell Award? Law: Have you ever been arrested, charged, cited, held and/or convicted of any law violation to include juvenile, by an law enforcement agency to include school officials or police-regardless of whether those charges were dismissed, expunged, sealed, set aside, thrown out, continued without a finding? Have you ever been to court as the accused? Have you ever been to civil court? Education: Did you graduate high school? Are you a junior or senior in High School? Do you have a GED? Are you currently enrolled in college? How many credits? When did you graduate? DO you plan to graduate? What is the date of your graduation? Do you have a degree? What level of degree do you have? What is that degree in? Do you have professional or trade certifications? Married: Are you currently married? Ever been married? When is your anniversary? Are you engaged to be married? Do you have plans on getting married in the next 2-8 months? Dependents: Is anyone legally, morally, or financially dependent upon you for support? Any kids? Any step-children? Any children on the way? Testing: Have you ever taken the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)? When? Where? What was your score? Would you be interested in taking the ASVAB?
