Back when I was in high school, for whatever reason, my entire class took the ASVAB test. They never really told us why or gave us the option to opt out of it (which was probably illegal), and most of us just thought it was part of a standardized high school vocational aptitude test that everyone took. We had no clue it was a test for pre-entry to the armed services. I did pretty decent in most of the sections and had recruiters ringing our phone off the hook for a couple months after that, before they finally all got the clue that they needed to piss off and I wasn't signing up for anything.
Hindsight being 20/20, I probably could have gotten into a decent position in the air force or army and made a career out of that, but this was also around the same time as things were winding down for the Gulf War, so chances were good I probably would have been shipped overseas, and I don't know how cool I would have been with that.
