Yeah, mine came back 1/1024 Democrat. Very embarrassed until I remembered in my youth a Democrats were normal people, not screaming protesters seeing that one who accepts God is guilty of a hate crime.

Yup, can o worms. Gonna have to reprint all manner of forms to have just a male and female choice, no cheating under penalty of big bro.

Doing a quick search, it would appear that the above is the correct answer: DNA samples weren't collected before 1991. If you served subsequent to that time, DNA was supposed to be collected upon enlistment, reenlistment, or prior to deployment. Bot Active and Reserve. I was in the Army Reserve until 1998. But as an officer, I neither enlisted nor reenlisted during that period. My unit was alerted for Bosnia, but we didn't go and never began actual preparation for deployment. So it looks like they missed me.

When I first started practicing law, one tool in establishing paternity, or more accurately, lack of paternity was done by blood testing. This would rule out paternity, but not establish. Later in the 1970s, the main tool in establishing paternity (or lack thereof) was the HLA (Human leukocyte antigen) test which could rule out paternity and narrow down likelihood of paternity when the simple blood typing analysis broke down and couldn't rule out paternity. HLA testing is done today in organ transplant suitability. In the 80s, DNA analysis began developing and has progressively gotten better over the years as more and more alleles could be compared. I defended a rape case involving a 1 and 600 quadrillion analysis that established the frequency of the tested alleles of dna in the general population compared against his and that found near the victim's cervix. Here's the image of a quadrillion pennies stacked in space.

My daughter gave me a 23andme test for Xmas last year. No surprises, except that I was grievously disappointed to learn that my family has little Neanderthal DNA. I have always considered them the most extraordinarily accomplished members of the human lineage, surviving for 300,000 years in an ice age by hunting very large dangerous mammals. And then we came along and ate them.

Ditto from my daughter last Christmas. I was looking for family-acknowledged indigenous connection of the last 100-plus years. We have photos of generations back to native costumes. Not there.

Don't be so paranoid. It is the future.
Your ills will be treated at the gene level. Some, prenatally.
You'll never see another deaf kid, or one with Down's Syndrome.
No more dwarfs. No Huntington's, no PKU's, no Tay Sachs, etc.

Your progeny will be perfected, the resistance is futile.

FWIW, Your culture is impressed on you, your genes are facts.

Don't be afraid of facts.

Ted you shoulda tried Planned Parenthood. You have to go to where the market is...Geo

Likely I was such an exemplary soldier they just wanted to clone me?...Geo

1 to 1 1/2 percent Neanderthal is quite common with European backgrounds. Both my wife [German] and I [Sweden] showed a similar percentage of Neanderthal. Some authorities say the Neanderthal was more intelligent than [censored] Sapiens, but due to an unfortunate chromosome characteristic, the Neanderthal's birth rate became lower than its death rate. Many thousands of years later, the Neanderthal was gone with only cross breeding traces in [censored] Sapiens to show for their efforts. ---------------Well, I did not write Censored, what a silly thing.
