My experiences were slightly similar yet very different. When I was a young'un all highschool students took the Armed Forces Whateveritscalledtest. I aced the thing (on average only one person aced the test in the country every three years) and subsequently got TONS of phonecalls and had recruiters showing up at school to pull me out of class to talk to me.

However, I weighed 425 pounds at the time. The typical response was for them to salivate right up until they saw me, at which point they'd just say "nevermind" and leave.

I've got a lot of respect for the folks that serve in our armed forces, but my experience has been that the recruiters are a bunch of total assholes.

Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB. Which sounds like "Ass Fab", but that's another Don't Ask, Don't Tell Production.

When I was in high school -- back before the earth cooled, as I tell my student-clients -- they told us to be very clear if a recruiter called us. Do NOT tell them you're interested if you're not.

Now it seems they're not even taking "Go the fuck away" for an answer.
