[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew a woman like that in the Army. She could always enlist. [/quote] No onger true.[/quote] Yep, I think a lot of people watch movies like Forrest Gump and assume anyone can enlist. But times have changed and the needs of the modern military are different. Now, the ASVAB exam is mandatory and someone with a limited IQ and academic ability would likely not pass. There's also more emphasis on screening for intellectual aptitude in basic training than in the past. The curve on the ASVAB/population you are scored against has gotten increasingly harder and self-selecting because some schools administer it to almost all graduating seniors, including those going to 4 year colleges and not planning on the military, and some community colleges are also encouraging as many students as possible to take it. The list of medical conditions and medications that disqualify you is also getting longer, too.[/quote]
