I don’t think it’s possible to get a perfect line score. You can get a 99, which placed you in the top percentile relative to whenever it was most recently adjusted, which isn’t as hard as you would think if you’re blessed with above average intelligence and fresh out of college since your competing with a bunch of people dumb enough to join the military.

The real test is signing that contact at the end of the day though. Which I failed. FTN

Amazing to think that my nephew didn't make a colossal mistake because a massive government bureaucracy didn't want to shuffle more papers.

Only shitbags wear alphas to the ball.


Edit- actually they started issuing dress blues again after OIF kicked off so everyone has worn blues to the ball for a long time now.

It was 2006 I think. When I was recruiting, all the recruits started getting issued them because a bunch of people were coming home in boxes and no one had blues to get buried in.

They made you pay back your uniform allowance?

poo poo, when I graduated in 98 Blues were only issued to whatever recruit got picked as the best in each platoon. Everyone else was told to buy them with our 200ish dollar allowance. The jacket was 400ish by itself, but at least I didn't have to pay back the allowance.

Incidentally this is also the most corps thing I've heard in 15 years and it owns

edit: My very first most corps thing was finding out the EGA you get at the end of the crucible is the same one your drill instructors made you buy in 2nd phase at the PX for $2.99
