You were recruited at 14? How did this happen? Is our military on the lookout for kids with high IQ tests?

I took the ASVAB at 14. I don’t know if they still do that. All 5 services hounded me through high school. My dad had been a career Marine, so I wanted to see something different. Didn’t think I’d like shipboard life and thought the Air Force was not the most military bunch, so that left the Army. A 128 GT score back then was pretty high, as I recall.
