text: can someone explain to me why high school juniors have to sign a form in order to not take asvab's? this makes no sense to me and i don't remember it being that way when i was in high school.  also, why does the form have to be turned in by a certain deadline, and then they are stuck taking the tests even if they don't want to?  i thought asvab's were tests for the military? i just didn't attend school the day they gave it, and never made it up.  my sister took it and recruiters were calling all the time.  my kids aren't in high school yet, but if that is how they do things, i would call the school and tell them my child is not taking it.  verbal consent is just as credible than written when it comes to public school.
