Even his former handler is dishing in him.
Regarding his online high school diploma, we had to force him to complete the four years of credits in just ten months, which he did using the Google machine, Hancock revealed before adding how Rittenhouse also had applied to join the Marines but couldnt even pass the basic aptitude test. As another user on X, RogerZenAF explained, The maximum score on the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery the test to get into the military) is 99. The minimum score to join the Marine Corps is 31. Surprising absolutely no one, Kyle Rittenhouse scored far below the required minimum. Rittenhouse would ultimately be barred permanently from joining the Corps after sending in a video of himself stripping an AR-15 unsolicited to recruiters."

"The actions of Rittenhouse during and after his trial, who Hancock says believes he is the show pony we created soured Hancock about working further with him. Instead, he squandered a full scholarship to study any subject at any university in the country to become a divisive douchebag and antagonize black Americans on college campuses, he wrote. Kyle failed to learn a single thing. He remains the same uneducated, arrogant, and antagonistic individual, incapable of telling the truth. The 21-year-old was recently booed off the stage at an event at the University of Memphis held by the conservative Turning Point USA group."

(1,391 posts)I worked with troubled youth and they all took the ASVAB. A score below 40 was unusual. It indicates limited intelligence and little knowledge of anything. Such a low score corresponds to what we know abound lovely little Kyle. I wonder if he has enough IQ horsepower to function in the world. Maybe his right wing friends will protect him from real life for the next 60 years or so.

Farmer-Rick
(10,262 posts)I ran the department that administered the ASVAB. Yeah that is a seriously low score. It's calibrated for 50 to be the average. That's because the test is frequently given to 10th and 11th graders. But most standards for entry into a branch of service is below 50.
As a requirement of the job, I had to take the ASVAB myself. I got a 98 and I'm as far from smart as you can get. It's just basic highschool questions and I had completed college when I took it.
We normally administered it to 10th to 12th graders. There was a push, when I left, to add 9th graders but I don't know if that was ever done.
Boy, he really is ignorant.

(19,311 posts)As long as you can demonstrate some palpable skills that show the military you have potential, they'll accept you with a lower score.
I don't remember my ASVAB score when I took it in high school, but it was high enough that the Navy had a recruiter on my ass for 6 months trying to get me to go to school for nuclear reactor tech. But the thought of being on a sub for months on end, hundreds of feet underwater, scared the hell out of me. I can't even swim
Mysterian
(4,614 posts)The Army offers a 90-day prep course to help recruits pass the ASVAB if they scored between 21-30. But the recruit subsequently must pass the ASVAB with a score of 31 or higher to be enlisted.

(65,580 posts)...and his wife on weekends for several years. He was a reactor & generator tech.
He served on both boomers & carriers.
He said carriers were WAY better. The deployment was shorter, they docked for resupply (so time for short leave), and much more comfortable living conditions.
Even though he had a wife & kids, he'd volunteer for carrier duty before he got picked for subs, after a couple tours.
He was in for 25 years (I think that's right) and then went to work for a utility that had nuke plants until he fully retired.
I think he'd tell you that you were wise to avoid sub duty!
Others may have enjoyed it, but he didn't.

NavyDem
(536 posts)But I believe that the requirement when I was in was to tread water for 5 minutes, and then swim 50 yards. Many people I went to boot camp with had to be remediated, as they were unable to complete the swim test.
The test of course is to give you a chance of survivability in the event that you fall overboard. Would it be effective? My honest opinion after thousands of person overboard drills is that no, you are probably going to be claimed by Davy Jones' Locker.

Suddenly, she was gone and I got another NP. 1st rate, no issues. Then I moved and I have another 1st rate NP. I will take a NP, everyday, over a DR.GP.

(15,106 posts)They probably wouldn't have taken him even if he passed that exam.
About 5 or 6 years ago, my son applied to the air force. He aced the exams, was in great shape, no record, just didn't want to go to college and wanted to do something interesting (yeah, ok, whatever). He was engaging, interesting to talk to, no reason to dislike him.
He was turned down eventually because as an infant he had asthma. He had a script for an inhaler that he never used growing up. An exhaustive test he paid for himself showed no signs of asthma, but they wouldn't enlist him.
He was devastated at the time, but eventually moved on from it.
It just goes to show you there are a lot of reasons they will turn you down. Being a dumb as a rock, racist, redneck bigot is just an obvious one.

(280 posts)Fucking creepy MAGAT had it coming, he had already murdered 2 peaceful protestors.
Gaige Grosskreutz, the third and final man gunned down by Rittenhouse during a night of turbulent racial-justice protests in the summer of 2020, took the stand at Rittenhouses murder trial and recounted how he drew his own pistol after the bloodshed started.
I thought the defendant was an active shooter, the 27-year-old Grosskreutz said. Asked what was going through his mind as he got closer to the 17-year-old Rittenhouse, he said, That I was going to die".
