Unbelievable! They'd rather have an inner city kid from Detroit than a smart, conservative, respectable home-schooled kid from SC....grrrrr. Just more pc crap!

According to my son who just spent four years in the military that is exactly what is going on.

Here’s another irony...the majority of active-duty airmen, taking college classes in their spare time, attend on-line colleges and universities—and the service pays for it, through tuition assistance. If on-line is satisfactory for an airman’s college education, why isn’t it good enough for a prospective airman’s high school diploma.

One more thing: I’d like to know if this young man has taken the ASVAB and his scores on the various sections of the test. If he blew it away, the service has even less of a leg to stand on.

Guess he’ll just have to say he’s gay, then he’s a shoe in.../sarc

Well, this is good news to me. I guess I won’t have to worry about my daughter that started college at 13 being drafted after the repeal of the DADT dust settles.

We had friends who home schooled their kids. The son wanted to join the Marines. He wasn’t accepted because he was home schooled. Mom went down to the recruitment center and in no uncertain terms, presented an argument of exactly why he was qualified and why he should become a Marine. After several hours, the recruiters agreed to take the son. They also wanted Mom to join up, too. She proved herself to be Marine material. I think they were about scared of her, too.

Mr. Dennis, unfortunately in 2011 (and since AA), has the wrong paint job, you are correct.

What were his standardized scores?

[org.whodat]

LOL, the air force gives you a separate test, your score determines your acceptance and job placement. He flunked the test.

What “Tier” are you in if you were homeschooled and then got a baccalaureate degree at the age of 16?

[Little Ray]

Not PC crap.
The Feds want to force people through their daycare system for indoctrination.
Can’t have people actually trained to think for themselves...

Charles Murray is right! We need privately administered certifying exams for each subject.

A high school diploma is worthless for determining whether a person is educated or not. Our community colleges are filled with illiterate and innumerate students with high school diplomas.

Ok....Now I will go on to read the article.

Tier 1 students are those who graduate from a traditional high school, while Tier 2 students are those with alternative credentials, like a home school diploma, a GED or a diploma from a correspondence, Internet or distance-learning program.

Tier 1 students are ones who have had the opportunity to be properly indoctrinated into a liberal-globalist world view, while tier 2 students just might be Christian patriots clinging to their guns and religion...
