Not if you got in...

I doubt you would get much more than the statistical guessing
average
(~25%) on the ETST (a test that is a prereq for Navy electronics
training)


Why would I want Navy electronics training?


Not to worry. You wouldn't qualify for it anyway.



You mean, my soldering and assembling a half dozen Radio Shack kits
(from the Crown Street store) while I was in junior high and high
school, my ability to take completely apart and properly reassemble
outboard motors and lawnmower engines, and my A's and B's in algebra,
geometry, chemistry, calculus, and physics in high school wouldn't have
done it for me? Damn! Then I guess I would have had to go to college
and
not join the navy. Drats!

Did you actually understand how those "kits" worked and how to find
which part was bad when they didn't? If I showed you a wave form,
could you identify the circuit that created it?


My dad knew and he sorta showed me at his shop, or one of his
moonlighting part-timers did (he had a couple of guys who were senior
techs at Sikorsky). I didn't say I had the knowledge of a trained
electronics tech, but I am sure I could have learned if I wanted to do
so. I did "ace" physics, calc, and chem in high school, and these were
all AP courses taught in small classes by first-rate, no-nonsense
teachers.


I'm sure you had first rate teachers. Problem is you were a 3rd rate
learner.


No, stupid...you had to take tests to get into the AP classes. You, on
the other hand, seemingly did not have what it took to get into an open
admission community college.
