The results can be used by the recruiter to begin MOS placement (basically what jobs he qualifies for) and lets the recruiter know if your son needs to study more for the test or if he is good to go as is.
Keep in mind... this is what was happening back in 03 so I don't know if this is the way it still is.

we have kids in my unit doing this all the time, this post is almost 100% true, except; while in the delayed entry program they only have to "sign in" for half the drills the regular reserve guys/gals do. I have one in High School assigned to my team. I don't think he can come to every drill even if he wanted to. Until after high school.
