Didn't know it's actually possible for a person to be too fucking dumb for military considering i met one of the dumbest fucking person (an American GI) when I was visiting occupied part of Korea long time ago.
One of the biggest problems the military has is that too many kids fail the ASVAB, I GUESS thats what happens when you defund education to enrich the elites oops
Yeah, I know, I've taken the test. It was mandatory in USA's public schools in the 90's. Probably still is.
You get nothing for taking a test if you don't plan on going into the military. It doesn't count as a grade for a class, you get no cash from the recruiter who brings the tests for each correct answer.
There's literally no reason to try to make a good grade on this test for the majority of people who aren't sitting in a recruiter's office unless you just like having your phone ring off the hook to tell the recruiters to go fuck themselves.
Fill in the dots, make a pretty picture and take a nap until time is called.
I dont think its mandatory unless your school makes it mandatory. I went to a shitty poor high school and we didnt do that, despite being there target audience
