START guide, and the test you take at RTC

Beau.B · 08-15-2011, 01:39 PM

Yep the Start guide is a book that you should've gotten at MEPS or your recruiter. It has a bunch of information in it that you need to memorize and have your recruiter sign off on. You can get a PDF version of it here:

Hope that helps!

If you have a smartphone there's also a mobile version available that has the most important information condensed. It can be viewed at:

You should get an actual booklet from your recruiter, or at least a copy of one. I'd ask him about it, it's some important and interesting stuff!

IF you are going to RTC as an E-2 from college credit, will passing the PQS advance you to E-3?

It should. Just remember that you need to pass your initial PFA as well to get that advancement!

It was my understanding from my recruiters that the test only could advance you from E-1 to E-2 but I may be wrong about that. That is probably a question for Craig or your Recruiter.

Shando11 is right, you will not get E-3 from the PQS, beyond E-2 it is up to the RDCs who they're going to promote
