In this episode of the ASVAB Domination Podcast, Mickey Gamonal sits down once again with Jai Salters, founder of Act Now Education, Navy veteran, and active-duty service member approaching retirement. Returning for a second conversation, Jai shares his updated insights on leveraging modern tools—specifically artificial intelligence—to revolutionize ASVAB and test preparation. He breaks down how AI can act as a personalized tutor by generating practice questions, analyzing weak areas, and building customized study schedules. Beyond test prep, Jai highlights Act Now Education’s mission to support active duty members, veterans, and military spouses with free professional certifications, including PMP, Security+, SHRM, Splunk, and Google AI programs. Jai also opens up about his own Navy career, his personal horror story with test prep, and the humorous recruitment experience that almost led him down a very different military path before finding his calling in the Navy.
