You mean high grade is more recruiters.... right?
Why would people with job prospects join the army?
family tradition is one. You can potentially start as an officer is another. They tried to recruit me to start as a captain given my prior vocational training.
I did not know that. Interesting, I guess my own feelings on it didn't let me consider that
I got a 99 on the asvab (everyone at our school took it) and was getting recruiting calls all the way through my PhD program.
My condolences
