Currently communicating using digital means. Recruiters are doing this by phone calls, social media, and conducting appointment through skype and face time.

"As far as ASVAB testing, they are able to give the PICAT. The PICAT is an ASVAB that they can take at their home. Once they are done and MEPs opens up again all they have to do is verify their score at MEPS. The nice thing about the PICAT is it does not count against them if they fail."

"Juniors: It would be beneficial for them to take it with us (recruiters) now. That way if they need to improve their scores they have enough time to study. If they don't do well with us they can take it this fall and improve their score or take again with us sooner."

Important Info Shared by Recruiter:

1. Are your recruiting offices open?
   Yes, our office is open. However, some of the recruiters are working from home. Most of the appointments that we've had were through virtual means (skype, zoom, etc).

2. Can students take the ASVAB if they are interested in your branch at your recruitment location if they are seniors?
   Students can take the ASVAB through us, but it would be at our MEPS location here in Little Rock. We would just have to set up an appointment with the student beforehand.

3. If they are juniors interested in taking the ASVAB, should we be advising them to take it in the fall when we hopefully return to school?
   We are currently working with juniors too. We can set up an appointment with them and set them up with the ASVAB. They can also take the ASVAB at school in the fall.
