Water jobs from your ASVAB
Put in the scores from your ASVAB sheet and see which Navy jobs on the water they open, using the Navy's own minimums. Then see the license each job can turn into once you're out: your sea time counts toward a Coast Guard captain's or engine license.
Your scores
Use the standard scores on your score sheet (most fall between 20 and 80; 50 is average). VE is its own line on the sheet; it isn't WK or PC. Leave a box empty if your sheet doesn't have it. Your scores stay on this phone; nothing is sent.
Navy jobs on the water
Navy SWCC (Special Warfare Boat Operator) and Navy Diver: the fast-boat and dive jobs need a fitness screen, tougher vision rules and their own score lines, and the boat operator scores are on a temporary standard through December 31, 2026. Ask a Navy Special Warfare recruiter for the current numbers.
Coast Guard boat jobs
The Coast Guard keeps its score minimums on an internal list, so we can't check yours against them. A recruiter can, and a commanding officer can waive a few points for a strong sailor. Here's where each boat job leads.
Turning sea time into a license
Coast Guard rules say sea service in the Armed Forces "will be accepted as required experience" for merchant mariner credentials (46 CFR 10.232(d)). The National Maritime Center reads your service records and decides how much of your time counts and for which license. You still pass the exam, and that's where our free study guides come in.
Not official, and not tied to the Navy, the Coast Guard or any recruiter. Score minimums are only one part: every job also has vision, hearing, security, citizenship and service-time rules, and the lists change. A recruiter has the final word.
