I can believe that. When I was recruiting for the Navy back in the mid 80s there were plenty of people willing to join but after checking for eligibility it was hard getting 3 people in a month. It was either they had a health problem like asthma or over weight etc…, no H.S. Diploma a GED wouldn’t do, they had an arrest record, couldn’t pass the pre-ASVAB test we gave them right there in the recruiting office, if they couldn’t pass that no need to take them downtown to MEPs to take the ASVAB test. I used to get pretty frustrated with thinking I had some pretty good candidates just to watch them all go away for one problem or another.
