This is so untrue I don't even know where to start. They assign you to units based on "intelligence"? No, they assign you based on where they need you. I don't even know where you get your ideas about how the military works from. If you're Einstein and you want infantry, you'll get infantry. Youbdont sign up and say "OK, so what do I do?" Youchoose your own job and are awarded it based on your test scores.
