We do, it's called the ASVAB. Problem is different job skills mean you get different minimums.
Grunts had to have a minimum of 32. That's basically "I don't remember how to do fractions, but I don't know what they are" level. Lowest passing score without a waiver I've ever seen was 28.
When I did the ASVAB in high school I opened up the booklet and saw that someone had circled all the correct answers in it. I did the first few just to double check ,and they were right, so I just said fuck it, copied it all out of the book. Got damn near 100 in every category. Figured they’d make me a general or some shit if I ever joined
"Sir! Take a look at this!"
"Why the hell are you yelling, lieutenant?"
"Look! Not only did he bubble the answers completely inside the lines, he didn't eat the crayons when he finished!"
"Mother of God..."
Actually cheating on the ASVAB won't do much for you. For fields like the Navy's nuclear field, a high ASVAB just means you get to take the NFQT (Nuclear Field Qualification Test) which is harder and usually you taking it alone, hard to cheat. Even after the tests you still have to go to the schools and pass the courses. I was a navy nuke and I can say I agree that field is one of the most difficult classroom curriculum in the country (including most colleges).
It's kinda weird. All the books and stuff are fine, but they are significantly easier than the real test. The recruiter's have a kind of practice test that they use which is mostly harder questions. The actual ASVAB turned out to be somewhere in the middle. I felt like only the recruiter's version prepared me for the basic stuff (like mathematics and the like), nothing really prepared me for any of the spacial or engineering stuff.
Antifas are dumb. There should be some kind of intelligence requirement for the military so we don't train these morons.
