I'm not trying to be mean...but what do you think it takes to join the military? Come by my office sometime and I will give you the ASVAB test the about 50% of the DCHS can't pass. I'm speaking in generalizations here but MOST gang bangers would NOT qualify for the military at all. Hell half the kids here in school that are NOT in gangs can't pass the test. If they have ANY open law violations down to a parking ticket they cannot join. If they cannot pass the ASVAB test (and it's not given in spanish nor is it read to you), they cannot join. If they cannot pass a drug test for meth, coke, thc...you cannot join. If you have used drugs in your past you are VERY limited as to what you can do. If you have a Felony you are disqualified and in meritorious exceptions they will take you. Kids are screened and IF they are affiliated with a gang, have gang tatoo's or a gang record they are disqualified. We no not want gangs in the military. The Military is a professional organization...it is not a dump for the nations trash. What do you do? Perhaps we could take all the gang bangers and have them come work with you.
