Bla bla bla. You are dedicated to the career of staying in character cradle to grave. Now why can't you correct corruption everywhere? To correct it anywhere you have to understand how it became everywhere.GHETTO BLASTER » 04 Jul 2024, 1:03 pm » wrote: ↑ Howdy Vegas...happy 4th..!
I enlisted 50 years ago.at age 18.
This is when I took the all day long battery of tests that measure IQ every which way possible.
IIRC...there are 5 or 6 individual scores listed on my record [DD214]...plus there is a combined score.
I'll take this opportunity to brag a little and say that my scores got me fast tracked into what was cutting edge technology at the time.
The Army made me their very first AN/TV2Q Laser Range Finder Tech.
I was already in the top 5% of the FADAC [fire direction control computer repair techs] as well as at the very top of the heap of TIFF [tactical imagery interpretation facility] techs.
When it was time for me to go before the E5 Promotion Board I had to write my own MOS Test....there wasn't anyone qualified to rate my proficiency level at that point.
I wouldn't be surprised if the test I wrote for myself became the test that was given to all comers from that point on. 8-)
My security clearance opened doors for me after I got out of the Army that made it possible for me to make a nice living working on US naval ships and military installations all around the world.
