Both parents must give their consent for 17-year old enlistees unless the parents are divorced or legally separated or one parent is deceased. In those situations, the divorce decree, separation agreement, or death certificate must be included in the application or hand-carried by the applicant to the MEPS. The consenting parent must be the custodial parent (or both, if joint custody). If the applicant has a court-appointed guardian, the guardian‘s consent is required and a copy of the court order must be included in the application or hand-carried by the applicant to the MEPS. If a court order, separation agreement, or death certificate is not available, the consenting adults must make a sworn affidavit in the presence of a notary public attesting to the fact of custody. This document must be included in the application or hand-carried to the MEPS. Parental consent is required on the DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing - Armed Forces of the United States, before enlistment processing (Exception: aptitude testing). The form must be signed in the presence of an Air Force recruiting official or notarized. When signed by only one parent (because the other parent is absent for an extended period), a notarized statement from the parent signing the form will be attached, showing (1) the specific for the absence of the other parent, and (2) that the absent parent is aware of and consents to the enlistment. When one parent cannot be contacted (desertion of one party), the signing parent will provide a notarized statement, giving the reason and period of other parent‘s absence. Parental or guardian consent is not required for a married 17-year old applicant. Emancipated 17-year-olds may enlist with an approved parental consent waiver from the Squadron Commander.
AFQT Predictor Test (ATP)
The APT is a web based and provides a potential AFQT score. The APT only takes 10-20 minutes to complete on any computer using Internet Explorer or Chrome browsers. Applicants use the “Test Delivery” application to take the APT at the following link below. Recruiters with access can register applicants to take the APT. I will issue you a registration code.

PiCAT ***THIS IS NOT A PRE-TEST***
The PiCAT is a Pending Internet Computerized Adaptive Test. This test predicts future military training and job success. People with high scores on this test have a better chance of qualifying for entry into the military and into select jobs within the military. In order for the scores to be a good measure of your qualification,they must be accurate. Following the instructions below will help increase the accuracy of your scores. You should be well-rested when you take the test. You should also try your best on the test, and take the test in a quiet place and without interruptions. You should try to finish the test without stopping. It takes most people about two hours or less to complete all parts of the test. You should not look up answers to test questions or obtain answers from others, as your final score will not be representative of your true abilities. Use only your own knowledge to answer the questions---do not use unauthorized assistance. As you take the test, you should have a pencil and scratch paper in front of you for any figuring you need to do. Any other materials should NOT be used, including reference books, internet sources, a calculator, and other such help. The PiCAT is a computerized ASVAB test similar to the CAT-ASVAB and may be used as the official ASVAB. It has the same number of subtests and test length as CAT-ASVAB. Only applicants who have never taken the ASVAB (school or CAT) are eligible to take the PiCAT. PiCAT is only administered once per applicant, no PiCAT retesting is authorized.
Important: The Access Code is valid for 3 days from the date and time of this registration. After the Access Code has been used, you have a maximum of 24 hours to complete the test. If you are not able to start the test or complete a previously-started test within the time limits, FOR ANY REASON, you will not be able to register for the test again. Please make sure that you, the examinee, will be able to take the PiCAT during this timeframe. There are no exceptions if these time frames are missed and you will have no choice but to take the full ASVAB at a MEPS or MET site. If you have any further questions regarding this please contact your recruiter. To take the Prescreen ASVAB, use Internet Explorer browser.
