This makes no sense because each branch of the military utilizes their mental and physical aptitude/fitness exams before they accept anyone. They reject many applicants from so-called Tier 1 schools who do not pass their aptitude tests.
How did this kid do on his military tests that all applicants take?
The video says that he did well and he has a 3.9 gpa in school and is taking accelerated classes, including Japanese.
The video of the story says he did well on Air Force qualifications tests. This is a dumbass policy.
