ASVAB
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a voluntary
military placement exam used as a general aptitude test for career options. It
is a military recruiting tool!
Schools are guilty of violating family confidentiality by giving military
recruiters access to private information gathered from students via the
ASVAB testing information (including social security numbers).
Military recruiters use the ASVAB to ignore the Opt-Out process.
The ASVAB skirts parental rights by giving incomplete information to parents
about it, and by releasing private information to military recruiters without
parental consent.
The only way to ensure student privacy is to use other aptitude diagnostic
tools instead of the military entrance exam.
It’s voluntary! You don’t have to take the ASVAB if you do not want
to. If you choose to take it, request Option 8. It means scores will not
be released to military recruiters.

Act to Protect Your Privacy from Military Recruiters
You may be harassed at home by military recruiters because your
name, address and phone number will be given to them by your school
— unless you tell your school to not give out the information. To
exercise your legal right to have this information kept private, you should
notify your school office as soon as possible. Some school
districts may provide their own forms for this, but they must obey your
request no matter how you submit it. You can write your own letter or
use the one below. Use a letter or form for each individual student and
keep a copy. It is not required by law, but I recommend having a parent
or guardian also sign one of the opt-out forms below.
