I blew it...

It started to go awry on the map... I didn't know what it was asking me to do. When I tried to drag the map to a different area of my screen to see the info it covered when it popped into view, it thought I was making a selection. Then I missed with the molotov coctails. I got some of the priorites wrong at the start also.

I ended up with a horrible 22 out of 80 points, my crew were eventually rescued two days later though everyone was weak and dehydrated.... BUT GET THIS... It said I have the characteristics to be a successful army officer!!! Where do I sign up?!!

70/80 I have the advantage of already doing the RAF and Navy tests once or twice before  ;)

What the hell was the map ref / code thing going on about. I have looked at it three times already and still don't get it.

Yea that map BS got me, other than that I got pretty much everything and my team was safely rescued real fast.

I quit after the map-code thing.  I think you have to use trial and error to get the right co-ordinates.  Didn't feel like messing with it.  I think I would be the officer who runs around yelling "were all going to die! were all going to die!"

The map co-ords part is just a standard encoded map coordinate.  The 1st code is which decode strip to use cos there's multiple, then just pick out the correct number corresponding to the letter.

70/80

Who'd known I'd be officer material? I'd look great in fatigues.

I'd hate the hours though, and there food isn't too great.

45/80...I think this test just verifies whether you are or you aren't a big moron with a total lack of common sense....from my score it appears I am 1/2 one :)

58/80, anybody wanna tell me how i was supposed to charge the radio?  i got the mapreading and decoding done correctly but i let the battery die.  As usual, a matter of life and death is thwarted because the Dollar-Store item had failed.  Saved in the nick of time thanks to my molotov cocktail throwing ability and with the insulin level of a girl in a coma.  all in all a successful mission hehe.

the kid died, the sniper killed the towelheads and we kept their supplies, the code was not broken, the molotov missed.

so, we BBQ'ed the camel on the wreckage from the plane, got pissed on the kickapoo arab joy juice, got resued anyway and sold the story to the enquirer for 1.2 mill.

I've been promoted.

Wow I scored 75 out of 80 even though I ran out of time and mis clicked on the first screen (I said to treat the wounded second but could not change my choice once clicked).

But I would not make a good army officer as I love my creature comforts too much.
