In the 80’s I tried to enlist in the Navy.. Took the ASVAB in Memphis, about 100+ taking the test, as the test was over, will (me) please come to the front. I walked up wondering what I had done wrong.Lady giving the test said she had never seen a perfect score before. Whew... relief. The Navy rejected me for a medical reason ( one that has never caused me a problem while scuba diving, parachuting, white water canoeing etc... It’s amazing how outmoded some of the physical requirements are. In a modern military it’s 10 tech’s to 1 shooter, not the reverse )
