I had a similar weight loss when I went through Basic at Ft. Benning and I wasn't fat either :)

And it enabled me to drop a weight class in wrestling too....

they have the ASVAB test to measure intelligence..

I had to take that test my senior year of high school (all the students in my social studies class had to take it). Big mistake. The Army, Navy and Airforce were hitting on me, so to speak, for months afterwards to get me to enlist. If I would have known that I would be on their mailing list for the next few years, I would not have taken it.

was taking the test voluntary? I'm surprised, most High School teachers are very liberal and hate the military. was your teacher ex-military?

Voluntary? Kind of. We got some kind of grade for taking it and passing it, (whatever that means). I wouldn't be surprised if the teacher was ex-military, though.

I really would like to know what part of it I did so well in that they wanted me. I guess if I had bothered to go to the recruiter, they would have told me what my score(s) were.
