Space Force: ASVAB scores & line scores
To enlist in the Space Force you need a minimum AFQT score, and then your line scores decide which jobs you qualify for. Here's how it works.
Minimum AFQT to enlist
Mirrors the Air Force: official floor 31, effective minimum often cited ~36; GED bar commonly 65.
Line (composite) scores
The Space Force builds these composite scores from the ASVAB subtests. A job qualifies you by a minimum on the relevant one.
| Composite | Built from |
|---|---|
| M — Mechanical | AR + 2×VE + MC + AS |
| A — Administrative | VE + MK |
| G — General | VE + AR |
| E — Electronics | AR + MK + EI + GS |
The Space Force uses the same ASVAB and the Air Force's MAGE composites (reported as percentiles) to qualify its specialties (guardians). Its specialty fields are narrower and lean technical.
Example job requirements
A sample of Space Force jobs and the line score each one needs. Many jobs require two line scores — you have to clear both.
| Job | Requires |
|---|---|
| Cyber Operations | E ≥ 60 (Air Force-style) |
| Intelligence | G ≥ 66–72 (Air Force-style) |
Example cut scores for illustration, drawn from 2025–26 sources; exact requirements vary by job and change with demand — confirm with a recruiter.
