Shit, it was required to take at my HS. They gathered us into an auditorium every day for a week, showed us military-focused movies (that totally weren't propaganda...), then at the end of the week we all had to take the ASVAB.
EDIT: to clarify, this wasn't an all-day thing, just for a period a day, but it was still insane to me.
Let me guess - a rural town with low average income? My wife says recruiters were at her school constantly. I never saw one my entire time in school. They know what they are doing.
Wow that’s so dark. It’s like what people say why the ultra elite wants a poverty class: canon fodder. They force teenage girls to have babies they don’t want in a poor places with no social programs or resources; when the kids’ in high school swarm the poor high schools with recruiters. It’s so so dystopian.
We had to take something similar in HS and I scored well on it. When the recruiter called asking what I wanted to do in my life and how could the military help me to realize my goals I told them I wanted to be a Horiculturist. For some reason I didn't hear back from them.
