not sure what the hell your talking about with that. I was 17.5, and entering with a GED. I do not remember taking a second test for aptitude but do remember them entering the GED scores. My GED scores were that of an "average graduating senior". I didn't not even have a valid driver's license at the time, nor had I ever had one. This was also in 1980, and things may have been changed since then and the time you were in. When I joined, childhood asthma was a disqualification and the reason for my early discharge. that has also changed. now it's not. But you don't know what my scores were, nor are you considering there could be many factors involved in job choices, including the fact we were facing war with Iran. So to imply my choices were limited solely because of test scores, and implying in someway I am stupid is offensive. If only test scores were a factor and I was that dumb, I would not have been accepted by the AF in the first place. If you actually have been in the AF you would know that. Another limiting factor is jobs already filled. They don't train 50 people for one job that is filled, when they have openings in other areas.

I am done with this conversation. And you and your implications and conclusions.
