Yup. I graduated high school at 17 and they were after me those last two years, at least. I was told I could have any job I wanted in the Navy due to my test scores. It was flattering and tempting.

Why didn't you pick like Fleet Admiral and then decommissioned all the ships before promptly quitting?

[–] norbert@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

We were all told we could have any job because our test scores were high. Come to find out that was a lie and while they might look at what you want to do, they'll put you where they need you.
