Which Duty Station do you prefer?

Hard choice. I think I would go for consulate security.

Now why in the world did you have to bring gratuitous sex into the discussion?

I am sure I can pass the test, but NOT the physical. I am FAR beyond what they would even take up in a plane, less fly it! They don't need pilots using WALKERS!

If any of you qualified for pilot, we might be able to scare up a an old Gypsy Moth, or maybe if you qualified for the Navy, a VE7 Bluebird might be in order. Of course, that old DC-3 missing a wheel and one of the nacelles is still on the side of the Island strip. I think Carlo holds ownership, but I'm sure he might make someone a deal on it.

Not to worry Pat. They would take women and children before us.

Atleast they have ONBOARD Oxygen, so we don't need to supply that!

Had I joined the air force I think I would have been a great pilot. I would have loved to have been a test pilot in the 50's/60's flying all sorts of awesome new planes and seeing how far I could stretch them to their limits. One of my deepest regrets in my life is that I didn't serve.

Final score was 293.37
Blew 2 questions.
The Algebra question, and the one question where the guy was nuts.
I disagreed with the answer on that one, and could argue it in Court!
MY answer was right. THEIR answer was NUTS!!!

Minimum score to get into Coast guard was 193. Notta problem. Rest was lower than that.
So I would have passed this test EASILY!

(Lotta good it does.... When U are not physically capable of doing the job!)

I don't know. You might stick a jumbo red flashing LED in your ass and serve as a buoy. That doesn't require much physical activity, other than floating. :lol:

The math/algebra questions were a joke. A neanderthal could figure them out in his sleep. They were a cinch. The reading comprehension and word recognition questions were equally simplistic. This test is a basic screening. A way for the military to determine that the person in question is at least a Neanderthal or better

You would be amazed at the number of people that do not pass it, and the number that just barely do.

That's the Problem!

Survival of the fittest requires that Conservatives be weeded out of the Gene Pool.

Just as the Neanderthals. :lol:
