Military High School test?

Question

My dad has installed this fear in my mind that in my sophomore year in High School that there will be a test that will determine whether or not I will be in the front lines of war, or that if you score well that you won't. Now, will/is there a test like this that will be mandatory within two years from now or not? Or is my dad just scaring me to get good grades?

Answer 1

It's called the ASVAB test. It's a placement test for the military. It will tell you your strengths and weaknesses and suggest a placement for you in your military career. Having good grades is always a good idea because it gives you more options should you change your mind, or for you to explore after you leave the military.
