I read this story last night and was left wondering if the statistics are pulled from all high school seniors or from those taking the ASVAB with the actual intent of joining the military. I remember taking this test in high school and there were several people who intentionally failed it so they would not have recruiters calling and paying visits, as they had no intention of ever joining the military. My sister was one of them. She instructed me to "Christmas tree" the test so I wouldn't be recruited. I didn't and did have lots of offers from lots of recruiters since I scored quite well and I'm female but it was easy enough to say "No thank you" and go on with my day.
