How can I join the army National Guard if I do not pass the test?

Answer 1

Which test are you talking about? The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)? The physical fitness test? The drug test? The physical screening?

In the case of the ASVAB, you only need to get a 31 on your General Technical... it'll limit occupations available to you, but you'll be able to get in. Trust me, I've served with some pretty dimwitted people during my time in. Getting a 31 GT on the ASVAB isn't difficult.

As for the PT test, try to work out on your own time. If you can't pass it now, don't sweat it - you'll get plenty of opportunity to work on your PT score during Basic Combat Training. Once you've completed that, however, it's going to be on you to maintain your state of physical shape - unlike the active military, you'll be living the civilian life when you're not doing your UTAs, so it's not like your company will be formed up every morning to do PT.

The drug test... if you can't pass that, I'd personally prefer you not serve in any branch of the military.

The physical screening... well, that's going to depend on what the problem is. Some things, you can work through. Some things, not so much.

I know a couple people who weren't able to enlist, but were able to get Civil Service jobs supporting the military. Might want to consider that if all other options are out.
