I looked at it this way: I was going to be a career Marine and the people that I enlisted could one day work with me. I know that I came across 2 of my 3 Drill Instructors and 2 of my Recruiters in my career.

I didn't see any point in lying or stretching the truth. I also had one of the best rates of graduation among my enlistee's in Boot Camp.
So you were the exception to the rule of "How can you tell when a recruiter's lying? His lips are moving"? :smilelol5:

This assumes that you took the ASVAB and subsequently enlisted. Many folks just took the test at their High School.

My records WERE at the St. Louis building that burned. I found that out a few years ago when the IRS withheld my tax rebate because they said I owed them money for GI Bill benefits. I had a very difficult time contesting that because of the difficulty in getting my records.

Re: Mensa membership letter

I found the following email address where you can request a copy of your ASVAB score. I emailed them this morning and they've already replied, saying there's a good chance they have my ASVAB (I took it in 1987) but they need my phone number to call me for more information.

The email address is official-asvab@osd.pentagon.mil

Now to get a copy of my ACT....

You may or may not be surprised at just how accurate the ASVAB test was...not sure if they still use it anymore. I was a Recruiter for 3 years and found that it is does an extremely thorough evaluation of ones abilities and is an excellent indicator of IQ.
Purplehood,

Since you're a former recruiter, do you know if it's possible for me to get a copy of my ASVAB score? I took it in 1987.
