Do people really get permanently barred from enlisting from a bad ASVAB? Something about that is pinging my BS detector, but I was never a recruiter and maybe it's a Marine specific thing so I don't know.

No. It's almost certainly because he was saying stuff like "I can't wait to shoot some [slur]s" or someshit.

I would imagine there was some follow up psych testing based on a preliminary screening. Like he reported having counseling as a child, which triggered a psych eval.

There's also a non-zero chance someone had access to the googles or evening news and ended up saying, "Rittenhouse. THAT Rittenhouse? gently caress no I want nothing to do with the problems that could come of that." and then found the paper justification for it afterwards.

So far this info is just from Rittenhouse's former handler but apparently he sent unsolicited videos to recruiters of himself field stripping and reassembling guns.

Some comments from this reddit thread

quote:

My buddy, God bless his insane little heart, passed the test to join the USMC with a literal IQ of sub 80. He had to retake the highschool exit exam for 7 years running before the exam was done away with in our state and he graduated by DEFAULT 5 years late. He did not meet even half of the requirement to graduate via the testing.

He didn't last long in the USMC before being discharged due to some significant behavioral instability, but he passed the test while Rittenhouse couldn't.

What on earth.

quote:

I was in Navy Boot camp with a guy who couldn't figure out how to march. Not turns or half steps, but keeping a left right left right cadence. So we'd always leave him at the barracks as watchmen when we had graded marches.

He talked with the mannerisms of Little Nicky and seemed like he never ventured further than his driveway for 18 years. Everyone helped him graduate because there wasn't a malicious bone in that sweet idiot's body. I wish I could have seen the chaos he caused in the fleet after.

Another kid I met in the fleet was so dumb, his work center supervisor had a parent teacher conference with his mom. I saw the kid watch airplanes land for 2 hours without moving his feet. Just still as a statue swiveling his neck back and forth. When he was done, he grabbed a paint brush and painted his hands so it looked like he had worked.

Another time he pooped his pants and tried to flush the evidence, but having never bought new underwear after boot camp he failed to realize his name was on the skivvies. So when we got a call for a clogged toilet and when I pulled out the turd burrito there was his name in big black letters.

These two men were both more qualified for service than Rittenhouse.

Other comments suggest that the info comes from "page 572 of 938 from Kenosha Police Department Field Report of Case #2020-00047360" acquired through a FOIA request.

If this were the case I can see why it'd be a giant red flag, but I can also see why a certain category of recruiter would ignore it to make quota.

The scummiest recruiter on the planet would be left wondering if it was worth babysitting Shittenhouse long enough to get him shipped off. Too dumb and insufferable to remotely be worth it.

Did you have mypay set up to email a civilian account? If so you can just use the lost login and password links to get your login information. That's something you should have been told to do before retiring.

What do they even mean by “Google Machine?”. Sounds like they gave him worksheets and he Googled answers for 10 months.

Edit: He kept bringing up colleges a while back. If he’s too dumb to get minimums on the ASVAB he’s not going to last a semester in anything that isn’t U of Phoenix level.

He'll be a cum laude graduate of Prager U. His entire existence can only be in the MAGA cinematic universe because polite society isn't going to want to deal with him.

Yes. A good way to lengthen the block is to have a quote in some foreign language - latin is good for this - at the end bc then you can also add the translation after it. Boom, instant extra seven lines.

He was just born at the wrong time. He was too dumb and crazy for the year 2020 USMC but he probably could have snuck in at a different time.

Case in point, world champion idiot Bowe Bergdahl got bounced from Coast Guard Basic after three weeks in 2006 for being a nutcase and the Army happily scooped him up 18 months later because they had to fill some 11 series slots.

Bergdahl at least got his GED all on his own. Nobody was paid to babysit him while he did it.

Shittenhouse is too much of a loser to have even snuck in during the Surge. He could have gotten in under Project 100,000. Or maybe in the military of 5 years from now if lovely trends don’t improve a bit.

So, to be clear: Rittenhouse wasn't homeschooled or anything, was he? He was just really stupid (and in public school), and then the shooting and trial got in the way of finishing high school?

Airman gets arrested for soliciting nudes from a 17 year old and gets kicked out of the guard. Airman skips town after getting the criminal charges against him.

Airman then signs a contract with the Russian military and is actively fighting in Ukraine. :psyduck:
