  1. I don't recall my IQ score, but I do recall that when I took the ASFAB I was offered any and every MOS they had. I chose 11C (mortars) because I wanted to run around and blow things up at a distance.

  2. I had a very similar experience. When I was in 5th grade, my family moved from Massachusetts to Arizona (1976). The differences in the school systems were so drastic, that I felt I learned almost nothing for the first two years until I was evaluated by a school psychologist after some discipline issues. He was the first adult to realize that my "acting out" was out of boredom, not evil. I got moved to a more 'advanced' school and put into that school's gifted program. I was finally learning new things, including computers (the school had a single dumb terminal connected to Honeywell Systems - cutting edge at the time). - When we moved back to Massachusetts, it took me the better part of a school year to scramble back up to the state's education standards. By high school, I was taking honors classes in math and science. - I have a B.S. in physics (missed cum laude because I stupidly tried to learn Russian...) The only reason I didn't go further in education was financial.
