Hubby and I each took that test, and I don't recall being told we couldn't study for it but even if we had I don't see how it would have made any difference in the score. We just walked into the recruiting center and took the tests.
What good would that do? The doctors will exam each candidate. If a person isn't physically fit, that can't be hidden. Even if someone squeaks by the physical exam, the first two weeks of boot camp will weed out the rest. It wastes money, time and effort, which is a shame.
Hubby and I joined in 1970. Most recently, our nephew joined last year. We have other friends who have joined over the years.
I don't know why they would. It just puts off the inevitable. If they have a physical or drug problem, it will be found out. Then they'll be discharged with no benefits. Big waste.
