Were you ever removed, many times, from your regular class for "testing"?
Were you shown a series of high speed images on a television, not once, but many times?
Was the school psychologist selectively interested in you?
Quoting: Jane Grey 862970 Sure was. I went through a whole battery of tests, over a period of three years. Met regularly with the guidance councilors. The whole shebang. Then, in the military, I also went through some additional testing in boot camp because of my AFEES test scores. It was suggested that I change my MOS because of a "keen eye and a very unique ability to recognize and read patterns..." Then, a few weeks later, on BIVOUAC, I was called into the CO's tent and told I qualified for West Point, again because of my test scores. Silly me. I stayed infantry.  Or you could look at it this way. If you had gone that route, then your family would've been most likely mystified about your military career and what you actually did even long after your death. You could've spent your life under sworn secrecy without being ever able to vent to your significant other or loved ones. In other words, infantry meant that you chose to be bullet fodder in a way; however, at least you got to talk about it. Silver lining maybe? hell, i was 18 and wanted to play with all the cool toys. and there was this second lieutenant, fresh out of west point. the entire company hated this derp. and at the time i just knew i didn't want to be like him.
