ASVAB is for enlisted - you don't take that if you are going officer (NUPOC) for NUPOC you need like a 3-3.5 in some kind of stem thing and maybe other stuff like recommendations ... and you need to pass an interview too I believe with an admiral.
ASVAB grading isn't a fixed scoring system. If you score s 90 it means you beat 90% of the people who took the test. Which means that 99 is the max score. The question pool is also massive usually starting at Jr High difficulty questions ramping up to college and down to kindergarten depending on which questions you get right. Testing Math/science/reading for your primary grade with secondary grades for things like mechanics, table reading, and similar which can be used to qualify you for some other jobs or similar.

Nukes are great for employers that know to target them when they get out. The whole program could be considered a trial by fire. Training starts with 3-4 years of college shoved into a year and a half. Actual work is a constant fight between being undermanned, leadership, continuous training/testing, responsibilities above their rank and red tape.
Got out after 6 years as a nuke.
