Prepared by Radif Partners · Method · official sources read on October 22, 2026 · published formulas and tables
The Air Force publishes an ASVAB minimum for its enlisted careers on airforce.com, expressed in its four aptitude areas: Mechanical (M), Administrative (A), General (G) and Electrical (E). On the date of this page, the listing had 118 enlisted careers: 52 with a General requirement, 37 Mechanical, 22 Administrative and 30 Electrical, counting careers that list two areas in both; 29 list two areas and 6 list no minimum. Requirements range from 40 to 80 in Mechanical, 24 to 72 in General, 21 to 70 in Administrative and 28 to 88 in Electrical. Each is a percentile from the 1997 tables, so you compare it directly with the percentile on your sheet. Meeting a minimum makes you eligible to be considered for a career; availability, medical standards and security clearances decide the rest.
Where the minimums come from
Every enlisted career page on airforce.com shows its ASVAB requirement. The site serves the same data through a public careers listing, which this site reads with a script and keeps with the date of the reading. Each requirement names one or two areas and a percentile, such as G55 or M47 & A28. The percentiles are the ones your score sheet prints for the four areas, built from the composites of the 1997 score scale report; the Air Force page computes them from your standard scores.
| Career field (as listed on airforce.com) | Enlisted careers | Lowest single minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance and Repair | 15 | G38 |
| Healthcare | 15 | G44 |
| Intelligence | 14 | A60 |
| Logistics and Administration | 13 | A21 & G24 |
| Science and Technology | 12 | M47 |
| Law and Order | 7 | G30 |
| Combat and Warfare | 7 | M47 & G50 |
| Airframe Inspection & Maintenance | 5 | M42 |
| Resource Management & Support | 4 | A55 |
| Flight Operations | 4 | G55 |
How to use the finder
Enter your four percentiles exactly as printed. If you only have standard scores, compute the percentiles first, then come back. Pick a career field to narrow the list or keep all fields. The result counts the careers whose minimums you meet, names the closest one you miss and how many points you lack, and lists the careers within reach with their AFSC code, the Air Force Specialty Code that identifies each career. The titles stay in English, as the Air Force publishes them.
First, your four percentiles
Air Force General (G) percentile
53
| Mechanical (M) = AR + MC + AS + 2VE | sum 250 → 47 |
| Administrative (A) = MK + VE | sum 102 → 52 |
| General (G) = AR + VE | sum 102 → 53 |
| Electrical (E) = GS + AR + MK + EI | sum 198 → 47 |
Reading two-area requirements
When a career lists two areas, this site requires both. That is the cautious reading: a career shown as within reach meets both listed numbers. If the Air Force accepts either area for a given career, the finder may hide a career you could get, but it will never show one you cannot. Ask a recruiter when a career you want is shown just out of reach on one of its two areas.
What a minimum does not tell you
A minimum percentile is a gate, not a ranking. Careers also depend on openings at the time you enlist, on medical and physical standards, on color vision for some electrical work, and on security clearances for intelligence and cyber careers. Those criteria are outside the ASVAB and outside this site. The listing also changes: careers are added, merged or renamed, and requirements move, so the date at the bottom of this page tells you how fresh the list is. The line score page compares the Air Force system with the Army and Marine Corps ones.
Moving up an area
Each area depends on specific subtests. General uses AR and VE, Administrative uses MK and VE, Electrical uses GS, AR, MK and EI, and Mechanical uses AR, MC, AS and twice VE. To reach a career that is a few points away, work on the subtests of its area where you are weakest: the Electronics Information and Mechanical Comprehension practice pages target the two technical areas, while VE lifts three of the four at once.
A worked example
An applicant has M 52, A 61, G 58 and E 44 on his sheet. With all fields selected, the finder counts the careers whose every listed minimum sits at or below those four numbers. Electronics careers listed at E70 are out of reach, 26 points away on the Electrical area, which is a large gap. Administrative and General careers in the 50s are open. If he wants an avionics career, the honest answer is a retest after serious work on Electronics Information and General Science; if he wants a support or intelligence career, his current General and Administrative percentiles may already be enough. Run the finder with your own numbers before you talk to a recruiter, so that the conversation starts from the careers that are really open to you.
