I didn’t even take the SAT, I did take the ACT. I did fairly well on the that.

Same with me. Luckily, I took the ACT on the last possible date to qualify for a ROTC scholarship. In the space of a few months, my plans changed from attending a local state university, and working part-time to pay for it, to attending a private university 900 miles from home at no cost to my parents.

It was a pretty heady experience, getting promo materials from 100+ schools. I was even pulled out of class when a recruiter made an unannounced visit to speak with me. He was a bad-a$$ Airborne Ranger Major: he signed up me and another 20 students for the freshman class. All but one of us stuck it out four years, and we stay in touch as much as possible.

I was in the middle of my class, leaving active duty after 8 years. We had one two-star, several full birds, and a smattering of other ranks. At least 5 got their Ranger tabs, and over half earned Jump Wings (including me).

Best thing that ever happened to me.

I didn't take either. I took the ASVAB and even though my bum knee disqualified me from the service (couldn't pass the physical) Recruiters from all branches of the service called on me for almost three years.

They told me I scored in the top 5% of Category 1 my buddy who took the test at the same time scored in the top 1% and ended up a NASA certified electronics tech.
