That’s actually what I’m thinking, too. “Oh, you scored between this bracket? Your code name is ‘Meat Shield #1947288’. No, it doesn’t mean anything. Stop asking. Now get out there champ. Make 'em proud.”

It was required in my school to take the ASVAB. If we missed we’d face repercussions. I purposely answered questions wrong-- not all of them because it would look too obvious, but I apparently still scored high enough that they still considered me. I got my results in class, we had someone from the military come speak with us and try to get us to sign up, and even text messages.

Shit was so fucking annoying.

I asked a friend of mine from where I used to live if she had to take it and she asked me what the fuck I was talking about.

I mean, shit, I guess when you live in a state that is known for having awful levels of education they figure they can shove you in the military instead.

…Or football.
