I'm sure people ace the McDonalds tryouts too.Knew a guy in basic that scored perfect on every facet of the entrance exam. He joined to become a Ranger.
Stupid? Are they the ones facing bullets and IEDs?No, you can't be stupid and be infantry, no matter how many movies say otherwise. The idiots are all in the rear as cooks, laundry personnel, mechanics, supply, and truck drivers.
Really, I'm sure smart people don't have Intel, Google and Infantry in their top three career choices.
Fuck Israel
that is because they need to save money and are going to lay off 6000 men. it would be stupid to hire and train people just to let them gtfo a year later. a they need to save 1bln euroKampframmer wrote:

Some yes, but what is even more "straight up bullshit", is that the military, the army or just the infantry, is made up of nothing but "dregs".
e: in fact, were having too many smart people. Theyve almost completely stopped hiring people for officers training, which requires a pre uni high school diploma (the highest level in high school)
As you already should know as ive posted it many times on the forum, I did a degree in Computer Science and now im a video game designer. One which requires intelligence the other which requires creativity.11 Bravo wrote:

Fixed. The best thing about your post is that some study someone posted here a while back showed that some high percentrage of US grunts took hard drugs the whole time. (blah blah blah, drug tests, blah blah blah, how hard do you think it is to cheat a drugs test bravo? Ill give you a hint, not.)Kmar wrote:

I think that may be the issue here. People on this site seem to have pretty low standards when it comes to clever/intelligent. A few people seem to think being able to pass high school makes you intelligent rather than failing making you retarded.Dilbert_X wrote:

Well you can't really say the military as a whole.
Interestingly the Australian Defence Force Academy has the highest average tertiary entrance score, the highest average GPA and the highest average student progress rate in the country. Wouldn't call that dregs either.

But I do know that ADFA kids graduate with really high marks, not calling people in ADFA retards compared to regular uni kids, they're just more into practicality and shiz.
So what? Its a closed little world.But I do know that ADFA kids graduate with really high marks

No they have the same standards and if not more coursework than UNSW.Dilbert_X wrote:

stop trolling trollbert.
The ATAR requirements for courses are lower, but the average tertiary entrance grade of students is still higher (if you know what I mean).Cybargs wrote:

Also, Dilbert the uni side of ADFA in run by civilians (UNSW) so you can't really say it is rigged or anything.
ahhh if you mean by pure ATAR scores then yeah it's pretty top ranked. You gotta be in at least the top 30-25% of the student population to get in.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

we should all just ignore trollbert on all things military.
All of this relates to the officer intake does it not?Cybargs wrote:

Dilbert, you have never served your country in any capacity, no nothing of what serving your country is about. You have no experience to base your opinions on. You are a side liner. Act accordingly. Just sit and watch.Dilbert_X wrote:

One of the gayest thing in my ADFA YOU session testing was when they randomly gave me an advanced math test that 40% of applicants failed lel. But I passed so I was happy.Dilbert_X wrote:

AFAIK it's the military that makes the decision who gets to ADFA, but you must make the minimum ATAR scores.
nope I guess I didn't, andI am sure I didn't miss anythingJaekus wrote:

We know with him and many others it wasn't about 'serving' it was about getting access to college.
I somehow doubt the characters in the OP had much interest in 'serving', more they couldn't think of anything better to do.
Last month I started my first job where a fraction of the work is defence and therefore govt related.
So I guess I'm a leech now too

they paid for their access to college through service..It was not "a gimme", or an entitlement. It was paid for by handing their lives over to the people of the US. to do with as the people saw fit. Oh, and they also pay taxes. So you are still "one upped"Dilbert_X wrote:

You base this off what? There are plenty of intelligent people in this forum from all walks of life. Most here have degrees and are succesful. A lot of them have served.Vilham wrote:

Bunch of fatasses who've barely even met anyone in the military saying they're generally stupid people. OK, whatever makes you validate yourself.
inane little opines
The act of enlisting makes people stupid. The best marks in the world can't hide the fact you just signed yourself up to being yelled at for no good reason for 3+ years.
It really doesn't bother most people there.DrunkFace wrote:
