Why haven't I been recruited?

[jazzimov]

I have no family, except for my Aunt who is pretty much on her last leg and some relatives in East TN that I have no contact with - in effect, I have no family.

When I took the ASVAB tests as a lark in High School, I scored a 128 in my General Technical score. the Marine Recruiter there tried to recruit me as Military Intelligence based on my score, but I shot him down.

I bet I would score higher today, since my job as Trainer for Tech Support has caused me to be much more involved.

So, if the NSA is trolling everybody - why haven't I been recruited? I have no family, which makes me a "perfect" recruit?

Maybe they don't know as much as some here claim they do.

1. Don't know. "Why buy a cow when you get your milk for free?"

I am not sure.

2. Because they know your complete past?

So what is it you are hiding from the rest of us, eh?

And don't shoot recruiters anymore. It sounds like you didn't get caught, but your conscience must be heavy... best to give yourself up.

5. So, you're implying that I have

"something to hide"?

NOPE! Nothing that I can remember.

It may be that I have forgotten something.....

Well, I have written some anti-GWBush emails, and those got me special recognition by TSA - but nothing that would get me "black-balled" by the NSA.

Everything I can think of that I have ever posted on-line would make me a perfect NSA prospect.

IF they were actually guilty of everything that they have been accused of.

IF.

7. In your OP, you claim you shot the recruiter

Your conscience is so burdened that it's crying out for help - confessing when you don't even realize it!

P.S.: as far as I know, you're just a government plant. Hell, maybe *I'm* just a government plant.

4. that's what I keep asking

guys, I really need a job.

They wanted to interview me when I graduated in 1985. Why not now?

Then again, I only have a decade of career life left.

8. Well, someone upthread sugested we give ourselves up.

Which, I guess, supposes that we did something wrong or illegal that we need to "give ourselves" up for.

I'm guessing that the hype is just that - hype.

6. Because you're too freekin old to be indoctrinated of course...asking why just proves it...

[jazzimov]

9. Well, that may be true now

but then why didn't they contact me when I was younger?

You say that "asking why just proves it" but that implies that "asking why NOT" just proves the opposite.

If what you seem to imply is true, then I should have been recruited a long time ago and should be dead by now.

But I am alive enough to be typing now. Or am I a Ghost? Am I actually dead, and these typings are coming to you from beyond the grave? Wooooooooo-hoooooooo!

sorry. I just checked, I haven"t died yet.

10. why haven't you been recruited?

Could be because all of the recruiters have been busy...chasing down all the Porn pages lately.

11. If they told you why they would have to kill you.

You might wake up the smartest person in the world.
