110, waiverable down to 100, and in my experience, that waiver is frequently granted.

MOO - but:
- I knew guys who tested well and had excellent scores but could not reason their way out of an empty gunnysack -
- I also knew guys who couldn't diagram a sentence but picked up languages like nobody's business just like some people cannot read music but can play anything they hear -
- And I knew guys who were below the 110 IQ range (test wise) but had an affinity for doing things in an entirely common sensical way and had some sort of almost mythic sense of things mechanical - they made some of the most naturally talented and best 11Bs/12Bs/05Bs (now 18Bs/18Cs/18Es).
Guess what I'm trying to say is it takes all types to make a good ODA and the system (veteran instructors) should be responsive to recognizing the talent and potential to be able to do that or not.
