Military friendly state Georgia! It is.
They give you extra 5 points to your score. If you are eligible for veteran's preference points.

Join the military and have yourself ship to war zone for at least 90 days.

So if you get a 65 + 5 in Georgia I guess that means you can't apply for license in other states since you wouldn't have passed otherwise?

This is absolutely mind boggling. I would never have believed this if I didn't just read it on the Georgia's Licensing Board web page. Makes no sense to me. You were in a war zone so let's give you a few extra points. Lost a limb? Here is a few more for good measure.

I hope you are kidding. I cannot believe somebody trully think in that way. While I do not agree with the 5 point buffer it is also true that if someone can be good enough to take a weapon and defend our country, he/she must be good enough to receive some benefits out of it. If that benefit is a 5 points head start in the PE test so be it. Who am I to go against that? Who are you?

I disagree. Benefits/recognition is one thing, lowering a standard is another. Giving preferential treatment to subsets of people only waters down the whole process. Should we give an extra 5 points to people with ADD or learning disabilities? How about people with one arm who cant write as quickly? People with deadbeat dads who had a tougher time growing up? Fat people who cant sit in the chair as easily? Conjoined twins with one twin being an art history major? Where does it end? A standard is a standard for a reason, and as applicants it is our responsibility to make sure we meet it.

Funny stuff.
