A RESOLUTION
1 Encouraging school systems of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
2 to use the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery.

5 vocational-technical job fields, both civilian and military,
6 before the students become committed to a particular academic
7 pathway; and
8 WHEREAS, The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery can
9 be a valuable test instrument in advising and guiding those
10 students who display the aptitude, interest, and motivation to
11 seek training and employment in vocational-technical fields; and
12 WHEREAS, The information obtained from the test results of
13 the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery is vital to put
14 quality men and women into the National Guard and the military
15 forces of the United States; and
16 WHEREAS, Because of the increasing complexities of modern
1 weapons systems, the need for intelligent, well-educated young
2 men and women has never been greater; and

4 opportunity to make students aware of occupational or
5 educational options, especially in these times of national
6 crises; therefore be it
7 RESOLVED, That the public schools of the Commonwealth of
