I'm pretty sure the minimum ASVAB score is like 30. I'm pretty sure you could get that by randomly guessing on most of it. I try not to be too harsh in my judgements of the less intelligent but holy fuck do you have to be dumb to be fully disqualified.
You can pass the ASVAB enough to join by answering C on every question. I know this to be true because I worked with multiple guys who said they did exactly that. That may not be true today but it was 15 years ago.
Infantry only needs a 30, so statistically yeah I believe it's possible.
I went with a guy that scored 19. They were talking about bringing him back to retest later.
Fully and permanently... 😂
You can retest as much as needed, really, and if you can't get your score up a recruiter can schedule you time with a nearby Ed Center if there is one for ASVAB classes to get your scores up because "some folks aren't test takers!"
I'm not saying that fuckstick Mcbangbang is by any means smart but a permanent disqual for low ASVAB? I ain't seent it before.
I'm fairly certain a history of being tried in court because you're a trigger happy murderer also likely disqualifies you from joining the armed forces. That's too much of a ticking pipe bomb even for them.
The murder happened in August of 2020 and this says the test was taken in January 2020. This is seven months before then so I don't think that played a role.
It does show he wanted to join the military, presumably because he had a fascination with killing people. Maybe being rejected directly led to him finding a way to kill someone without joining the military.
If only we had a real judge instead of that partisan hack, the evidence that it was pre-meditated for him to put himself into a position where he'd be forced to "defend himself" is too overwhelming
Oh shit you're right, I didn't check dates. That's actually crazy, he actually is just clinically imbecilic then.
You get a certain amount just for filling out your name correctly.
When I took the asvab (decided not to join) another person was with me it was his 3rd time taking it and he failed again.
Seriously? I took it, thinking it would be good practice for SAT. It was not. I know they’re looking for a different demographic, but it was soooo mucheasier
Yeah, I was done at least 30 mins before him. The recruiter was all excited talking about all my options. I didn't even want to tell the poor guy my score 97( I think the scoring has changed since I took it but I believe it was out of 99 at the time). This was at the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
