- tsotha 11y agoThat's not the normal case. The people the military actually accepts are smarter than average and come from a family that's wealthier than average. These are guys (mostly) who are in to pick up marketable skills or they're there because that's what they want to do. If your prospects are that dim it's likely they won't take you.
