How far back can you go? I promised my son a cap &ball revolver if he didn't have a B on his semester report card. Bar tab ought to cover that.

Many kids blow off the ASVAB test because they never see themselves getting into the military
I bet if he retakes it he would get a good score FYI anybody can retake the test |

Based on some of the people I saw get accepted by the Marines at MEPS, there’s no fucking way he couldn’t qualify - he’s a fairly bright and articulate guy and you don’t need to be that smart to enlist 0311. This story is 100% bullshit.

“Liberalism, the noble annihilator, has hollowed out every institution, every binding force, every social failsafe and backstop, and its agents feign surprise when the liberating infanticide it promotes is taken to its next logical step.”

View Quote Nope, perfect reading comprehension. I just conveniently ignored your little qualifier because it didn't fit my purpose. Find a way to give me the test and if I don't do 90 or better I will roll around the Marine Corp ball on an office chair, dressed in a flight suit and hand out crayons. You provide office chair and crayons. |

Also, thanks for the personal insult, be glad I don't report like some whiny bitches here. |

Back to the original question; that's total BS. If he did poorly then he can always brush up and take it again.

When I told them I want go go somewhere cold their faces got a weird look on them. Apparently, they didn't think I was serious and never contacted me again, so I chose to not join. |
