Two (2) things about this:
1. I would like to see a demographic breakdown of those who were discharged for this.
M/F, race/age, MOS, etc. I think that info might be ...'enlightening.'
2. What were their PT Test scores. Personally, I think anyone who passes their PT Test - legitimately passes - should be given the GO on this.

I’ll add one other comment to this whole discussion. If you took the guys who were being discharged into a health examination...most of them have physical/emotional issues from the various deployments. They will eventually collect disability...figure thirty to fifty percent.

Several years ago, there was a Puerto Rican in our unit. He scored the max on the APFT every year, but could not put a sentence together that made a lick of sense. He went from E4 - E7 in about six years. He could not put anything in writing that made sense either, and we learned that someone had been doing all his online courses for him. He was allowed to resign instead of getting the boot.
