I call BS. I'm a Vet and have close friends that are Marines. If you were offered a low or entry position it was because of your test scores. You can ask all you want but if your scores are low then they will offer you an alternate trade or sometimes nothing at all. Usually top scores are offered Officer Training, pilot, communications, electronics, electronic system analysis, weapons systems technician, medic, etc. I don't know you personally but based on your past posts I seriously doubt you would have had the capability to pass the USMC basic training or the mental discipline to handle what theses brave men and women deal with on a daily basis while deployed around the world everyday.
I guess u dont know me very well then. This was in 91, 92. during the gulf wars. And yes I got accepted at the air force, but he told me i had to start at a low level, like at the base doing other stuff and the waiting time was like 1 to 2 years. I told him if i didnt work with planes or pilot. Im leaving and i did. He tried to get me into another branch like i said. I walked away.
Just so u know. Im a long distance runner. I was in the track team and used to run 5 miles a day. But my asthma made it harder. But no i would have passsed any training easily.
But still to this day i can do one hour on the threadmill with no problem. going uphill.
Btw my score was 95%
