College Admissions Cheating Racket

[Bengalzona]

When I was enlisted, I met a SFC. He was a Vietnam vet. More than that, he was a black man from Mississippi who grew up in the segregated South during the 50's and 60's. When he enlisted, he took the ASVAB and got an exceedingly low ASVAB score. Obviously, this didn't hurt his advancement: he put in his time, kept himself straight and advanced through the ranks (kudos to the Army).

Of course, some punk admin dude looking through the guy's files decided to broadcast the old ASVAB scores to everyone in the unit and the rumor went rampant that the sergeant was "functionally ********". The guys would sit around laughing and making jokes behind this guy's back. Sometimes they would be belligerent and challenge the guy when he told them to do stuff. To his credit, he went about his daily duties regardless. If they were belligerent, he made them back down and do what they were supposed to do without holding a personal grudge.

The behavior pissed me off, though. I knew this guy and talked with him a few times. He was not stupid or ignorant. Some people really suck.
