[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, lots of the kids don‘t have the very best grades and scores. They need to be good, of course. Two people we know going this fall were fit but not fit enough to pass their physical testing and “failed” many times but its administered by someone like a gym teacher who can let them retake it. This is what they did, repeatedly.[/quote]

I am this poster. No idea why people think it requires top test scores. See for yourself:

I once blindly thought they were like top 1% academically and should pass navy seal type physical test, but in reality they have relatively low test scores compared to competitive colleges and physical test is not that much of a big deal.[/quote]

In today’s world, not many with the choice of college want to go into the military. Too many senseless wars started by complete idiots with zero care for life. I respect the people that do enter military life, but would not want it for my own kids.
