Well, for one thing you have completely and utterly missed the point. The point was not to show lack of respect for the military. It was to show mistreatment of the military. As far as the Marines go, I was shocked and sickened at the score I could get on the ASVAB and get in. The projected test was so fricken easy it was crazy. The recruiter was totally shocked when I completed it 15min faster than he'd ever seen. He figured I was dumb as a rock and that I got them all wrong or left them blank. He said, are you sure you're done? You can go back and check the answers if you like. I got one wrong that I accidentally bubbled in wrong, I corrected it as he went down the list and told him why.
He told me what I needed to get it. Now the score is a 31. I was projected at 93 because of my 1 error, which I corrected. An F'in 31??? Please, don't tell me the military is a little hurtin for quality people. BTW They non stop recruited me for 2 more years.
As far as physical assesment tests, I can't say for sure because I don't know, but I would be willing to wager they're easier than they should be.
