Someone in the reddit thread guessed that maybe he answered something in a way that's not just wrong but like super illegal in a "you're stupid enough to be more of a liability than a help" kind of way. Like outright saying "yes i want to go overseas to murder people" sort of answers.
Being low test scores isnt a permanent disqualifier, they can waiver you in if you ride the line. something medically most likely. Probably too much water in the brain
No. He dropped out in middle school. His trial team had to "help" him quickly complete a GED so they could paint him as a promising young man who just got caught in a bad situation. He is, according to everyone who has spent any time around him, aggressively stupid.
Do they really use multiple choice for math questions in US education? That makes it very easy to guess the answers for some questions without fully performing any calculations.
Also I've answered some of the questions on that website and I haven't got a single one wrong yet. Is this really all you need, along with basic fitness, to become a marine? Because if so, I understand where all the stereotypes about them being crayon eaters come from.
Okay I got my first question wrong. I answered with backsaw for the question: "Which handsaw should be used to make a rough cut with the grain in a thick board?" Correct answer was ripsaw. My hopes and dreams of being a US Marine are over😭.
Bit idea, your score is so high it activates some sort of "Marine Prophecy Lore" about the chosen one, and you just keep trying to explain that multiple choice helps you guess, ala idiocracy.
I never saw multiple choice math problems in class/homework, but it seemed common for standardized testing like this, where only a small writing section would be manually graded. Everything else (on those tests) was multiple choice or similar.
You need to be able to run a 3 mile in a short period of time, i dont think most of us can do that here.
I think you need to spend more time around american kids who arent the rich, white ones on reddit or here. They've been failed by our country and society so bad.
BobDole gave the most accurate answer here for how testing works that I saw. All of the specific skill (mechanical, electrical etc) based questions are just used for checking whether you would be proficient for a particular role. Your AFQT score is the "actual" score people will refer to when you say what you scored on the ASVAB. So you can miss all the electrical questions and still score a 99 essentially, so long as you get all the reading and math questions right.
I got everything right except in the cars and electronics sections, it's not like they teach that shit in schools, but even then it was pretty easy to make an educated guess for several
a ton of the answers throughout just sound intentionally dumb to help you in process of elimination. like who would choose the radiator on a car as part of lubrication or ignition?
So, the ASVAB is a 99 point scale. The number commonly given is the AFQT number, which is a representation of the percentile at which you score. In this example, that would be the 31st percentile, ie scores less than 69% of people who have taken the test, with the high score possible being the 99th percentile, ie scores better than than 99% of test takers. Now, the AFQT is based on a formula instead of actually keeping a running tally of everyone’s scores and comparing every new test, so it’s an approximation
Apparently they let people with a 21 or higher do a sort of prep program with extended consideration. If someone took it multiple times and wasn't able to break the top 80%, that firmly puts them in the bottom quintile of "aptitude".
His entire life he has expected everything to be handed to him on a silver platter, and having no qualifications whatsoever works just fine for him considering he's set for life on ChudFundMe
The standard for all the branches if pretty uniform also failing the asvab isnt uncommon because how fucked education and our society is in the US. I know were dunking but its legitimately a problem and we should pity that so many kids are even too stupid to join the military
I knew someone who did recruiting and they said that kids would pretty regularly not pass the practice test and/or get single digit scores. They also said that every now and then theyd get someone who couldnt read at all.
There are some real dumb mfers in the military that make you wonder how the fuck did they get in and goddamn he's even dumber than them holy shit I'm dying.
Honestly they should let him barely pass so he can get chewed up and washed out by the marines for the giggles.
I wonder if he didn't like. (Try to) smuggle contraband into MEPS or tried to cheat the test. Both of those would be reasons to permanently invalidate someone; I've just never personally heard of them happening. Either way, I absolutely believe he's this stupid.
I mean I've heard of inspector dictators at meps that'll disqualify you just for having acne or other lame shit so he could've ran afoul of the ridiculous standards the military sets to filter people out.
But I want to believe he did something astounding dumb during the test like try and have a copy of answers on his thigh then get banned for indecent exposure and public nudity for trying to get some answers to the mechanical section or some shit
Didn't know it's actually possible for a person to be too fucking dumb for military considering i met one of the dumbest fucking person (an American GI) when I was visiting occupied part of Korea long time ago.
One of the biggest problems the military has is that too many kids fail the ASVAB, I GUESS thats what happens when you defund education to enrich the elites oops
Lol, the ASVAB is like a basic literacy test, and even then the military gives out frequent waivers for failing it.
I read on Twitter, so a completely unsubstantiated rumor, that he acutally got disqualified becuase he sent his recruiter a video of him disassembling and reassembling an AR which the recruiter found threatening.

He was probably expecting the recruiter to react like that drill instructor in forrest gump
Yo I didn't even know that was possible. That's genuinely impressive. Rittenhouse wtf are you doing you could've been the world's purest himbo but instead you had to go and be a fascist bootlicking murderer
His test score was far below the required minimum and was permanently
disqualified from entering the USMC.
Not like the ASVB means anything, it’s a bullshit test literally designed off of bullshit IQ tests. The marines do have the lowest entry requirements though.
What in the world is all this?

He helped give kyle literally everything he could dream of to start a new life which signficantly helped him win the trial and now he's that he used this dream makeover to become a grifter???
The fuck? He's going to be the standard boot licking chud in 20 years saying 'yep I woulda joined but <insert excuse here>'. I expected it to be out of pure cowardice and realization that the world he's going into may shoot back at his pampered imperialist ass, not mere shitty education.
