Enlistment Shake-Up: Navy Drops Diploma Requirements… Citizen Journalist’s Call Confirms the Unbelievable…
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 01/26/2024 7:06:25 AM PST by davikkm

Recent developments in the United States military enlistment criteria have sparked waves of speculation and concern. The United States Navy has taken a surprising turn, dropping all high school diploma and GED requirements for enlistments. The news has raised eyebrows and led a curious citizen journalist to pick up the phone and verify this seemingly unbelievable information directly with the Navy.

The conversation with a Navy phone operator unfolded as follows:

Citizen Journalist: “I just heard that you guys are no longer requiring GEDs or high school diplomas, is that true?” Navy Phone Operator: “Yes. Apparently, it is, that is correct. Uh, but the caveat to that is you have to score 50 or above on the ASVAB.” (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) Citizen Journalist: “Alright. Well, thank you for clarifying that. Looks like we’re going to war.”

Army and navy drop requirement for high school diploma or GED. Guess who doesn’t have those? All these migrants from all around the world. They’re laying the groundwork to fill the military with migrants.

The Armed Forces can only reflect the nation they serve. Today over 60% of the graduates of urban high schools are functionally illiterate and cannot do or understand basic arithmatic.

High school diplomas are meaningless. The switch to standardized testing is actually raising the bar.

People think/thought red dawn was a movie, fake, involving battalions of invaders parachuting in.

Reality: They walk across, put on the uniform, are given the arms and pointed in our direction.

The constant lowering the bar. lowering expectations, lowering testing criteria in our (public) educational system is now clearly having direct consequences on our society as a whole. How do you have a proficient military and national defense when the youngest generation doesn’t even know which bathroom to use and has a Tic Toc short attention span addiction.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman : That's right, and do you know how far away he was?

Private Snowball : Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!

It could be because schools no longer teach anything.

Drop the education requirement so they don’t have to add back the requirement to be sexually normal.

1. Tell everyone white kids are just too unfit to serve; too fat, too stupid, too criminal, too mentally unbalanced.

2. Tell everyone there is a recruiting shortage coming.

3. Do not enlist whites, slowly process them, discourage them.

4. Claim whites are not enlisting and that is causing a recruitment goal gap.

5. Drop all previous standards and demand to enlist illegal aliens to fill the gap; no English, no education, no test scores, no legal visas or citizenship.

This contradicts the years of explanations for why our technologically advanced military required better-educated recruits.

They are Judy going back to the 60’s when quite a few were high school drop outs. Time definitely repeats itself.

Linda Ronstadt is heard in the background, singing
“Desperado”, the new recruitment song.
