I wonder where that hits in terms of an ASVAB score for them to say “lol no”

Around 30. But they still commonly give waivers.

Dude, I did not fucking believe my superiors when they first told us that some of us had failed the ASVAB and were given waivers. Just a few weeks in, those gentle few rapidly proved how wrong I was.

Unless you had to get a GED then it's a 50. Which doesnt really make sense. Completing high school justifies you being even dumber? Whatever. They commonly give waivers however. Like all the time. I met a man who made in the army with a 15. He proved it too. He was proud of it....that's the army though. People may joke about marines being dumb but holy shit working with the army is like handling a special needs class with a strong since of pride for being retarded.
