In November, Sullivan South took the National Rehobeth ASVAB test, sponsored by a naval unit in Alabama. Sullivan South had three teams of five people and took first, third, and sixth place. Cadets Sam Johnson and Ben Firth were first and second in the nation with scores of 76 and 74 respectively. Theparticipants met during second period for several weeks to study for the test. The test was one hundred questions about math, vocabulary, automotive,reading, science, and other assorted subjects. The test was timed and we had one hour to finish it.

            Sullivan South has a very strong history in the Rehobeth Competition. There are trophies for the top three places. We have taken first place six yearsout of ten, first and second place three years in a row, and third place three times. Our best year was 2006-2007, when we took first, second, and fourth place. Individually, the cadets have also excelled, taking the top six scores in the nation in 03-04, and in 05-06, top seven scores in 06-07, top three in 11-12,and top two this year.
