Not only that, but some time ago there was a USAF heavy pilot with a ton of experience to include instructor duty (whatever they call that in the AF - IP/EP, etc...), but he was worrying about high school GPA I think it was.

I can't imagine an employer looking at someone who has achieved what that person had achieved in the many years since high school and still use it as a metric. I've tried to tell some young kids just recently though that school could be fun and games right up until high school and then it got serious. That GPA will follow you around for a long time and can be a door opener or a door closer. It is an easier life without opportunities being taken away from you before you get a chance to prove yourself because you decided that you were different from the rest of the world and didn't need to take certain things seriously. IMO.
