I'm looking to join the US Army but I've never liked math in school and have always struggled with it and wanted nothing to do with it and to my disappointment I have to pass a little test called the ASVAB so I can enlist in the US Army.

Well, I went into my local recruiters office and I did this practice test and scored a 4. I was directed to practice using a certain app they sent me and they said once I get a score of at least 21 then I will be eligible for 09m; 09m is a class you are paid to attend so that you can learn what is needed in order to pass the ASVAB.

I took the news of my score onto a couple online chats and I was heckled. It will be pretty funny if America ground invades Iran and this saves my life; my Grandfather was a Vietnam vet with a 6th grade education, I don't see how algebra is going to be useful in the armed forces.

If anyone has any good advice I'm open to it and that's why I made this thread. Cheers.

I scored a 92. And chose infantry. Ironic, no?

Why all the negativity? I came here for advice.

30+ years inside the military will do things to a man, I could kill you piss on you laugh and sleep with out a single care in the world. I am a certified sociopath a natural born killer my only purpose on this earth was to fight and die in our nations wars. Your best bet it wait. There are honestly two types of people and I already know who you are. There are those who do and those who don’t. You wouldn’t be posting on biz if you were serious. You can’t even become an 11B lmfao you are a literal brainlet and I would not want to be 100 feet near you on any combat situation. Stupid soldiers get people killed
>>
>>35077473
You can try and study for it or keep taking until you pass.

Or a combination of the 2. Why it will help? Some processes are dangerous without being able to follow the math.
>>
>>35077473
You are literally, clinically retarded

Like you can now get on disability because you are factually, measurably stupid

I'm not even 20 years old. What's an 11B?

Cool story buddy no one gives two fucks about your combat vet status

>>35077490
Yeah I'm pretty sure you can't get into any real engineering program in the US without first acing the ASVAB
>>
>>35077489
don;t thank me I did noit fight for or asgainst the US and am sich of hearing these roided bullshit artists fart on. I was in full on combat including heavy artillery and armoured assaults, full on earth shaing the dirt out of the sides my hole in the ground, dead left in the streets fighting for 3 months, getting people killed next to me, on top of me and killing people a few mneters away (and people don;t diue quick the reakl deal is not a hollywood flick) . War is shit, killing people is shit, picking up bits of dead kids and grannies is shit, don't join anything that might get you nearer it. Anyone who says differently was a glorified cop.

Love it. Especially if you actually failed the ASVAB. Failing the ASVAB is literally a diagnostic indication of severe learning disability, aka retardation

But to be clear, nobody who actually fails the ASVAB is capable of writing this thread

>>
>>35077497
Not sure what you're showing us because those aren't fails

Like they let literal retards into the military. If you failed your IQ is below 70
>>
>>35077501
Well that's my IQ, and again this was a very short practice test; it wasn't like the real full length ASVAB but I still feel really disappointed.

Everything else besides the Algebra was understandable but most of it was Algebra.
>>
>>35077493
I did nothing heroic I just did my job and I'm glad I'm alive plus outside the USs bullshittery about 'service. no one will ever give a flying fuck where I was or why. There was no 'band of brothers' either anbd I was almost relieved when someone else died because it was not me. As one wise old woman said to me. 'You put yourself there, one way or the other you decided to be there, what happened to you there is your fault and your fault alone and what happned there is also partly your fault' and she was absolutely right. Stay well away form anything that puts you in the middle of full on warfare, it's fucking ugly and smelly and exhausting and leave syou so fucked you don't even have the energy to be scared any more. Don't do it. People like me certainly won't respect you for being as stupid as I was. If you want some of the feels without the risk go work in an abbatoir. OP if true you got a lucky break. Be grateful and thank God. This anon is a tit
>>35077479
>>
>>35077503
Thank you man, whatever happens I am grateful.
>>
>>35077502
I got a 99 on all three versions of the test and was tested repeatedly to make sure I wasn't cheating. I didn't solve the algebra using book knowledge, I just figured the equations in my head.

You're claiming an IQ only slightly lower than me. There's no possible way someone with a top 2% IQ scored retarded on the ASVAB
>>
>>35077504
Just live a good life and be a nice guy IRL. There is nothing worth finding in a war except a way out.
>>
>>35077505
Well, IQ and Knowledge are two different things but I will go at it repeatedly until I succeed.

>>35077506
Most people that join the military don't go to war.

Take some self defense classes and call it a day. That's essentially all the military is going to teach you. Some grappling, some boxing, some knife fighting, some shooting

>>35077507
watch this man speak and think about what it did to him, don't fucking do it kid there is notthing to see in a war you may as well go look in a dirty bloodstained toilet with a corpse in it, nothing to learn, nothing that makes you a man, just shit.

I'm aware, he passed years ago but he seen many chopped up corpses and severed vietcong heads on pikes. I have reel to reel recordings.

>>35077505
Honestly it's not impossible. I scored 121 on the official MENSA test that only includes those pattern recognition puzzle things. On an IQ test issued by a shrink I scored 70 on the math portion.
These tests are only correlated with intelligence, they don't measure it directly. If you're a mostly NEET faggot degen who has literally never passed a math test in his entire life because you hated school and refused to participate in classes, like me, you will not do well on aptitude tests regardless of intelligence.

Basic algebra is used for plenty in the army. Land nav, aiming any kind of artillery, making microsoft excel spreadsheets. Thats not including anything specific to a job.

But you're not getting into an engineering course if you failed algebra. Not by a long shot

Yup that's me.
>>
>>35077526
Then you're not an engineer

ASVAB has much less algebra than stem of any sort
>>
>>35077525
The math I did in my trade was very straightforward but it's unlike any of which I seen today in the ASVAB. I didn't know what the ASVAB was until today or anything correlated to it.
>>
>>35077528
It's a requirement in the US. Failing the ASVAB will keep you out of college

Failing algebra will keep you out of college

Hahahaha I took the test after college and got a 98. The other guy in the center with me barely got a 32, which was the minimum at the time, he was hyped and honored to serve.

I looked around at the niggers and spics in the recruiting room. I could have taken them all 1 on 10… I knew the current army is not the place for a real American. I ended up accepting my offer for Goldman Sachs and worked in finance after college.

I hate my life, society is soul crushing and you are not allowed to speak freely or you WILL get canceled. I just want to get away from all you retards but when I do find land for me and mine you will undoubtedly show up asking for gibs like you have time and time again.

They're going to milk every last drop of your retarded goy ass. The modern military career has very little room for error for a true bizraeli. You have to go in and gibmaxx, thiefmaxx, and ratemaxx
>>
>>35077476
truth
the ASVAB is basically designed for people not to fail
>>
>>35077554
You must be retarded because I never said I scored a 9, I said I scored a 4. My buddy went in and scored a 14 but eventually he passed because he wasn't good at algebra either.

Keep in mind, this wasn't the actual ASVAB test, I haven't taken the ASVAB, it was a few question practice but idk how they score it and most of the questions were algebra. I'm not talking about problems that are like find x with PEMDAS or whatever, I mean stuff like fractions and thats the one thing I have always sucked at.
>>
>>35077553
Yeah, my recruiter kinda explained it and he said I wasn't retarded. From what I know its almost impossible to fail the real test since its just a placement test.
>>
>>35077557
And even then if I was actually retarded, in Vietnam most of those guys who were drafted like my Grandpa with a 6th grade education didn't know how to read or write but they still fought valiantly.
>>
>>35077558
Well my grandfather did know how to read or write but im just making a statement, he came from portugal during the salazar regime and he was forced to go to war in vietnam for american citizenship. He was screwed in both ways.
>>
>>35077559
Theres even a book written about him..
>>
>>35077559
Well, a draft is a whole different thing.
>>
>>35077556
Practice tests have lots of different scoring systems so without knowing which test you took nobody can really tell anything except you said you failed.

Failing the ASVAB or a practice test does indicate retardation though. Practice tests are about the same difficulty as the real thing, and failure is considered an indication of severe learning disability, i.e. retardation
>>
>>35077562
This is assuming the test taker has passed American public schooling. Generally to take the test you have to graduate high school or get a GED. The test just covers stuff you're required to learn in order to graduate.

So the assumption is if you graduated high school but can't pass what is essentially a high school test, you may be retarded.
>>
>>35077563
Conversely if you didn't pass American high school you're probably not going to be taking the ASVAB or joining the military
>>
>>35077564
Exceptions exist for foreign schooling that's roughly equivalent to American public schooling since a huge number of US service members are immigrants seeking citizenship. But even then they may be required to pass a US GED prior to taking the ASVAB
>>
>>35077565
This raises the question of whether a recruiter would administer an ASVAB practice test to someone without a diploma or GED, and that probably depends how desperate they are to make their numbers.

But either way if a potential recruit hasn't graduated high school they'd need to get a GED before enlisting
>>
>>35077566
And if you can pass the GED you can pass the ASVAB

Or if you can't pass the ASVAB you're not going to be able to pass a GED
>>
>>35077567
Personally if I was a recruiter and had some kid that didn't graduate high school and couldn't pass the ASVAB I'd just instruct them to go take GED classes and come see me once they got a diploma. The military isn't in the business of teaching high school
>>
Singing up for military yes I'll commit war crimes based desu

Hey man, I was just at Jackson and some 09M were in my basic. You will be around the lowest IQ African Niggers in prison like conditions doing cram math school for months with no phone or any freedom. Study your ass off and get at least a 40-70. It's not hard just dedicate your civilian time because the 09M program sounds like living hell. They said it was like a prison sentence and it's long as fuck and there's shit loads of math there. Ask to do the PICAT, that's the at home ASVAB. You can validate it at meps super fast and its way less stressful. Just don't cheat because you will have to validate it and they will know if you cheated.
>>
>>35077564
I did graduate, I went to a vocational school for Electronics and Robotics Engineering but I always needed an IEP for extra help in algebra but in order to get that extra help I had to say that I had aspergers and something else even though that's been ruled out.
>>
>>35077571
I had a 2.6 GPA
>>
>>35077571
Mainly the extra help was needed because I didn't want to do algebra, it always turned me off because I always found it boring and it was frustrating trying to pay attention in algebra because we would always be taught one thing and I would catch on then quickly switch to another topic leaving me abandoned and I no longer wanted to follow through because they moved to fast in my classes right after learning something.

Well for the past couple days I have been practicing the Algebra, turns out it is really easy; I just forgot the methods I used to solve these questions because I've been out of school for a little bit and they are really easy. I learned a new of dividing quickly on paper, a way they never taught me in school that they should've taught me.
>>
>>35077573
Yep algebra is very easy

Not sure about joining the military with an assburgers diagnosis though. They used to section 8 people for that
>>
>>35077573
I genuinely don't believe I'm retarded, I have an IQ of 125, I can design and fabricate electronics circuits, I don't think a nigger could fathom using GNU/Linux and I have for 8 years and I use Gentoo, I used to play the Violin and the Trombone, I run my own Home Lab like what the fuck.
>>
>>35077574
I don't have Aspergers, I said that I had to say that I had it to get the extra help in school though, my medical documents prove this and I already went over it with my Recruiter, they can see everything under my Social Security.
>>
>>35077575
Are you familiar with the term, "idiot-savant"?

Assburgers are literally known for being retarded AND being great at some stuff
>>
>>35077576
I'm just going off your ASVAB failure

That is generally a reliable measure of retardation

So is needing special assistance in class
>>
>>35077577
Well I can't say I know anybody with assburgs but yes I'm familiar with that term and I suppose I could be an Idiot-Savant.

>>35077578
>Mainly the extra help was needed because I didn't want to do algebra, it always turned me off because I always found it boring and it was frustrating trying to pay attention in algebra

If so you will either fail to enlist or get washed out quickly

Actual autistic people tend to love military routine but can't cope with stress and change

>>35077578
I didn't take the ASVAB yet, it was a practice test with maybe 10 questions on it.

>>35077580
This is exactly what dumb people say.

Of course trig bores the shit out of me, I'm too stupid to understand it

Did you fail the ASVAB practice test?

Plenty of geniuses are retarded. It's fine. It just doesn't work in the military because they require more than programming or trombone skills

well you can always apply to be a certificate authority

>>
>>35077596
Failing the ASVAB is quantitative evidence that you are indeed retarded yes
>>
>>35077598
Yep. Even retarded people can often pass the ASVAB. My Marine Corps is stocked full of window licking retards that passed the fucking ASVAB
>>
>>62873675
The 4 was on a practice test rated out of 20 probably

You couldn't score a 4 on the actual test if you tried. Unless you just turned it in blank.

Also semper fine.

Hollywood or PI?
>>
>>62873675
Happy birthday

>>35077600
Could be 4 out of 15 since that would be a 27 which would be a fail
>>
Anyway to the marine that deleted his comment, a 50 is perfectly average. Normal. Presumed IQ of 100.

Probably smarter than 80% of Marines
>>
>>35077604
My experience with Gulf war Marines is that a score of 30 to 50 was normal. Lots of criminals and mentally damaged joining up. Every boot had to point out scars for the barber because we all had TBIs and scars to prove it
>>
>>35077605
Go in to get your head shaved and you had to point where the scars were that made you dumb enough and angry enough to volunteer
>>
>>35077606
Otherwise the barber would shave your retard scars and you'd spend the first 3 days bleeding
>>
>>35077607
If you want to see 100 retards with serious brain injuries all together just join the Marines or go to prison.
>>
>>35077607
Fact is every single retard in the Marines is smarter than OP though.
Every single one of them had to pass the ASVAB at least 3 times

Once for the recruiter, once for MEPS, once at basic

This is cope that your parent's told themselves for why their kid isn't retarded. "Oh he's not too stupid for basic math, he's just unmotivated because the teachers are bad". Your parents have failed you by making excuses instead of beating sense into you and let you learn helplessness. If you can't focus on something then you can't do it.

And in real life they also took the ASVAB in high school meaning you gotta pass it 4 times to get in

And if you score in the high 90's they make you take it a couple more times to make sure you're not cheating or guessing.

By the time you hit AIT you'll have taken the ASVAB a minimum of 4 times and possibly as many as 7

And you can't fail any of them

Oh no, don't get me wrong, soldiers are functionally retarded, I have no doubts you'll do a perfectly fine job dying in a ditch in some far flung place for reasons you'll never understand. Don't worry, eventually the US will need more bullet sponges for something or another and they'll let you in.

Have the practice book around here somewhere, pretty sure you need to at least know trig to get a good position.
