ASVAB Score - Marine Corps recruits must score at least 32. A very few exceptions are made (about one percent) for some exceptionally otherwise qualified recruits with scores as low as 25.

Education - As with the Air Force, those without a high school education are ineligible. The Marine Corps limits GED enlistments to no more than five percent per year. Those with a GED must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT to even be considered.

Air Force

ASVAB Score - Air Force recruits must score at least 36 points the 99-point ASVAB (Note: The "Overall" ASVAB Score is known as the "AFQT Score," or "Armed Forces Qualification Test Score"). Exceptions are made, however, for a handful of high school graduates who can score as low as 31. In actuality, the vast majority (over 70 percent) of those accepted for an Air Force enlistment score 50 or above.

Education - You're more likely to be struck by lightning than enlist in the Air Force without a high school diploma. Even with a GED, the chances are not good. Only about 1/2 of a percent of all Air Force enlistments each year are GED-Holders. To even be considered for one of these very few slots, a GED-holder must score a minimum of 65 on the AFQT. The Air Force allows a higher enlistment rank for recruits with college credit.

Navy

ASVAB Score - Navy recruits must score at least 35 on the AFQT. The Navy raised this requirement from 31 in 2003 for active duty accessions. Reserve enlistment programs still only require a score of 31.

Education - Like the Air Force, the Navy accepts very, very few recruits who don't have a high school diploma. To be considered for enlistment with a GED, you must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT. You must also have no drug use, and at least three references from influential members of the community (police, fire, judge, teacher, ect.). Any police involvement, other than minor traffic offenses will also disqualify a GED applicant.

Army

ASVAB Score - The Army requires a minimum AFQT Score of 31 to qualify for enlistment. However, in recent months, the Army has been approving more and more waivers for those with scores as low as 26 (Category IVA). To qualify for certain enlistment incentives, such as enlistment bonuses, an Army recruit must score a minimum of 50.

Education - The Army allows more recruits to enlist with a GED than any other branch. In Fiscal Year 2008, only 83 percent of new Army recruits had a high school diploma (or at least 15 college credits), comparted with the Department of Defense (DOD) average of 92 percent. The Army even has a special program, called Army Prep School, that allows individuals to enlist who have no high school diploma or GED.

Now who is it that is on "crack"...sport?

You also have to imagine Russia and China will not be very happy, and North Korea will feel even more pressure to do something pro-active, as it watches the second of the 3 "axis-of-evil" countries getting attacked.

Isn't that what isreal says? You can't be serious. Either you're jewish or your totally brainwashed by the mainstream media. Iran hasn't attacked anyone in 300 years. They havn't threatened anyone. The wipe of the map thing was a total misquote spread through the media. They are signed on to the NPT, they get inspections, they are swapping their fuel.

It does not matter what they do, they are getting attacked either way.

Yes...it does matter what they do. If they do what the powers in the world tell them to do there will not be a problem...their fate is in their hands and only their hands.

I would be VERY suspect of any incident that appears to show Iran attacking ANYONE.

They know Israel (and the US) are just hoping for an excuse. Unless Iran is run by suicidal dimwits, they would NEVER offer that opening.

Iran, not unlike a lot of other Middle Eastern countries (namely Iraq and Afghanistan) is barely controlled by it's government. The further away you get from capital and the government seat of power, the less control the government has. All you would need to do is bomb their capital and once the lights go off, they are done. Just like Afghanistan - We barely did anything to topple their government.



Very true and this kills me... The US gets most of it's oil from the US, Canada, and fucking Mexico. They could shut down the Persian Gulf in the morning and we'll still get our oil from Canada and Mexico.



Russia is no longer overly concerned about supporting other countries it was once friendly to. They can't afford to. They no longer have the money to support other countries, and when these fuckers turn to mother Russia for support.... It's really not there.

WTF does China care about Iraq? They don't even care about North Korea; In fact, I think China wants the US to invade NK. They are tried of supporting them, and tried of their citizens crossing their border. Not to mention if China looks at us the wrong way we'll just stop importing their cheap shit, which would instantly sink them.

look, we can't put the nuclear genie back in the bottle, maybe, just maybe, by keeping nukes out of iran we buy ourselves a bit longer before israel & iran start hurling nukes to & fro over there. because that's what will happen asap after iran nukes up. it's not beyond the israelis to lob the 1st one over.

Iran is nothing like Afghanistan. You remember the Afghani air force? No because there wasn't one. You remember the Afghani army? Of course not. Now you have Iran, the 8th largest military (in terms of people) in the world. You think it would be the same? LOL

And if any country is running out of money fast it is the US of A. China would sink? You seem to have forgotten about the rest of the world, which would prop China up long enough for them to come in with their army twice the size of yours and take the money owed to them by you guys. If anything would sink it would be the US if they even tried shit like that, don't kid yourself China would own you guys (in the sense that they would beat you, not own you like money-wise because they already own you that way) quickly, easily, swiftly and permanently. Or do you think your politicians can convince people that paying 1000% more for pretty much EVERYTHING is ok??

Lets bomb them with Tactical Nukes cause one day they might have nukes. Hell lets just bomb every country without nukes cause one day they may think about having nukes, great idea!

I think people have really gone mad. Even you my demon lover friend.

where did i say anything about *let's bomb them*? no where, quite the opposite. by keeping pressure on them they don't have room to do so is what i am suggesting. islamic law? please.

nevertheless, if you don't think the mossad thinks in terms of 1st strike, it's yourself who is mad.
