Chapter 167 Application
Looking back now, the children may have thought that at that time, Frank knew that he had cancer and his life was not long, so he had such a big change.
A person who has been scumbag for fifty years will change, and it must have a great impact. Cancer meets this condition.
Children automatically figured out the reasons for the changes between the former ‘Frank’ and the present Frank.
Although the children don't know the truth, their ideas are right.
For example, Walter, an honest middle-aged man who worked diligently during the day, went to a car wash shop after work, and was rubbed off by life, started to make medicine due to cancer, even killed people, dismembered corpses, and destroyed corpses. These were things he never dared to think about before.
Ian was very guilty. He was really angry that night, so he did such impulsive things. You know, "Frank" had done a lot of fucking things before, and the children had never beaten him up.
Moreover, Ian never thought that it was his last side of Frank.
"You're really not wrong...Okay, stop talking about Frank, let's say something happy..." Monica comforted Ian and changed the subject.
"You want to join the army and take the West Point Military Academy. This is great. My son will become a soldier fighting for his country in the future, and will definitely become a hero like Captain America!" Monica said exaggeratedly.
"No, I can't get into West Point Military Academy," said Ian.
"Why?" Monica was puzzled.
"If you want to take the West Point Military Academy, you not only require physical fitness, but also cultural scores, such as trigonometric functions..." Ian said.
West Point Military Academy is not an ordinary university. Like MIT, Harvard and other famous schools, it is a world-class famous school and the first military school in the United States.
That's not how many kilometers you can run, how agile you can overcome obstacles, and you can simply get into the exam with physical training.
West Point Military Academy is a school that trains officers, not a big-headed soldier. Those who graduate from West Point Military Academy are all the mainstays of the army.
Many senior officials in the American army came from West Point Military Academy, just like Harvard has a circle and MIT has a circle. West Point Military Academy also has its own circle and many military leaders.
Therefore, if you want to enter West Point Military Academy, both physical fitness exams and cultural exams are the thresholds, especially mathematics at the beginning of culture, which is the top priority.
Modern wars are all about aircraft cannons, which pay attention to the range of the range. I wish I could shoot from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere with one shot. Mathematics is required to calculate the ballistics of missile trajectory, etc.
To a certain extent, it may be more difficult to get into West Point Military Academy than to get into Harvard. It requires both mental and physical strength.
It's like Hawking can get into Haval, but he never dreams of passing the ordinary person's exam and getting into West Point Military Academy unless he can get off his wheelchair for two steps and have a few more big jumps.
Ian is physically good, but his cultural courses are much worse.
"Then what is your triangle score?" Monica asked.
“c-” Ian replied.
"Isn't this very good? You're already qualified." Monica said in surprise.
"I'm qualified, but it's impossible to get into West Point Military Academy." Ian said.
In the exam, the level of C is equivalent to six or seventy points, while the score of c- is roughly equivalent to barely passing the exam, and the score is only in the early sixty points. If you deduct a few points, you will fail.
It is absolutely impossible to get into West Point Military Academy for such grades, at least you need to have a grade of B or A.
"So, do you really want to join the army so much?" Monica asked.
"Of course." Ian said.
"If you really want to join the army, you don't have to take any exams at all. Why do you waste your time in school? Let's go straight." Monica said.
"What..." Before I could react, Ian was pulled away by Monica.
Monica pulled Ian to the place where she enlisted, similar to armed forces in various parts of China.
There were many military advertisements posted here. When someone came, people in military uniforms immediately came up.
"Have you been to somewhere outside Chicago? I have been to all over the world with the army. I have eaten croissants outside the Eiffel Tower and pizza in Rome..." said the hospitality staff.
"The other troops are recruiting here, are they?" Monica asked.
"Yes, ma'am, all are here..." The receptionist nodded and then said to Ian: "We will train you. When your service expires, you can come back and find a good salary job and become a hero of the people."
"We just need young people as smart and strong as you, you are the future of the country!" The hospitality staff kept encouraging Ian with words.
"Ian, what army do you want to join? I see there are everything here, including the navy, the air force, and the army." Monica said.
"Join the Army, the Army has many fine traditions..." The hospitality staff saw that it was from the Army and fooled Ian to come to the Army's window.
"Are you an American citizen? Do you have a criminal record? When did you graduate?" The hospitality staff took out the form to fill in.
"I haven't graduated yet..." Ian said.
"I'm still in high school? Then wait until you graduate from high school before coming back." The receptionist stopped writing.
"What? Why?" Monica asked excitedly.
"He must at least graduate from high school. This is the rule. Moreover, he is still in high school and his age requirements do not meet..." the hospitality staff explained.
Although high school graduation is not of great use, having a high school graduation certificate is indeed a threshold, the lowest threshold, having a high school graduation certificate and not having a high school graduation certificate, will indeed be treated differently in a liberal and democratic America.
Having a high school diploma means that you have received the most basic cultural education, who can understand human words by literacy, and without a high school diploma, it may be equated with illiteracy in the eyes of others.
That's why Frank asked Fiona to go to school to make up for credits, and he had to study in any case.
"The rules for going to the horse, let my child sign up." Monica refused.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the rules are regulations." said the receptionist.
"He wants to play for the country and become a person like Captain America!" Monica said.
"I'm very sorry, but please complete your studies first." The receptionist said.
"When will you join the army and sacrifice your life for the country? What other bullshit learning is required? Should you send him to the exam or to eliminate terrorists? Oh my God, no wonder you can't even win a war. You cowards..." Monica made a furiously.
"Enough, mom, let's go..." Ian said.
"No, you can't just let it go!" Monica was very excited.
