A kindergarten diploma will do now.
“Army Drops Requirement for High School Diploma”
Take that, Putin!!!! We don’t need no soldiers who can read* because WE ARE AMERICA, and therefore INVINCIBLE!
*not that High School grads can read
Guess they figure that it doesn’t take much intelligence to be cannon fodder for their anti-white “cause”... They should have plenty of low-IQs to select from.
I had to deal with the post-Vietnam Cat IV issue back in the day.
Here we freaking go again.
Big fat, uneducated military personnel who can’t speak English. ROTFL! This is gonna be good.
1. Tell everyone white kids are just too unfit to serve; too fat, too stupid, too criminal, to 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.
5. Demand to enlist illegal aliens to fill the gap.
Nixing the DEI BS and refraining from demonizing whites would be far more helpful.
The Woke Army: We don’t recruit excellence. We recruit targets.
Unless our weapons systems can be downloaded and operated as an app, we’re doomed.
This experiment was tried before and it failed. From Wikipedia”
“Project 100,000, also known as McNamara’s 100,000, McNamara’s Folly, McNamara’s Morons, and McNamara’s Misfits,[1][2] was a controversial 1960s program by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to recruit soldiers who would previously have been below military mental or medical standards. Project 100,000 was initiated by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in October 1966 to meet the escalating workforce requirements of the U.S. government’s involvement in the Vietnam War. According to Hamilton Gregory, author of the book McNamara’s Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War, inductees of the project died at three times the rate[1] of other Americans serving in Vietnam and following their service had lower incomes and higher rates of divorce than their non-veteran counterparts. The project was ended in December 1971.[3]”
Scores of 100 or higher?…
When I took the ASVAB, 99 was the highest possible.
It means you were in the top 1% of test takers.
I had a friend in high school whose older brother and one of his buddies stole a motor home from a dealer lot. They got caught and were offered enlistment instead of prison. One of them got his paperwork in order and enlisted first, The other had a slow lawyer and enlisted two weeks later. In the interim the Pentagon changed the policy from a required two year enlistment to five years for court ordered enlistments. The funny part is that the first one, my friend's older brother, loved the Marine Corps and ended up retiring from it. The second one, the five year guy, absolutely hated it and couldn't wait to get out.
Well, Audie Murphy and Alvin York didn’t finish high school either.
How horrifying.
Hum....My GT score when I enlisted was 116. I think at the time the max on that GT test score was 125. I was told back then to enlist that score needed to be above 90. But when I got to AIT I met guys from the South and inner cities like Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia that had GT scores below 70. That was in 1975. I always wondered if the scoring was adjusted for geographical areas based on education and social environment?
You don’t need no ejamacation going to da Russian meat grinder!
We will know things are bad only when... they have a firm requirement for white males.
Currently, they will fill the gaps with anyone willing to enlist. Fat, check. Mentally Ill, check. Racists, check and move to the head of the class. Female in Special Operations, check. Female in Infantry, not a priority because only great Infantry soldiers become qualified Special Operators.
I joined foregoing my Junior year in 1974 and came out with a Masters Degree and two BAs, as a First Sergeant waiting on Sergant Major but with what I had going on, why would risk everything I worked 20 years to achieve to be destroyed with one AH SH*T - a thousand attaboys would not save anyone; the Army by 1994 under Clinton was involved in Bosnia illegally at the time and many of US ARMY - Uncle Sam Ain’t Relesed Me Yet, saw the politicalization in the upper ranks.
That was when Hillary lied about almost being killed in Yugosalvia by a sniper (a good fried of mine was the CSM in the air and on the ground with her entrouge and he said it was a lie - what she really said was, “I am gonna fuck all these people personally when we are President, nobody tells me to wear a helmet.”
The entire US Army is currently built upon competence, starting at the lowest pay grades and ranks. By the time you an E3 you are considered competent. Show some leadership (or have a family to feed) you make E4. Did you notice people get promoted to a position to feed their family while others for competence? That is the crux of brining in families at the lowest pay grades. Of course it is the Hook to keep then 20 years too because they can not afford to get out and maintain their standard of living after 3 years.
The officer ranks suffer from being filled with college grad’s. The Military needs to start training it’s own officer corps and it needs to take kids out of High School into 5-6 new service academies that are not West Point, Annapolis or a mile high. These schools need to focus on God and Country allowing everyone to know a morale and just group of people protect the nation from itself.
This is actually from 2022. January is a little early to say the Army is at 40 percent of their recruiting goal for the year.
Army taking what ever they can get not going to pay off.
At a time when a HS diploma means less than it did 30 years ago.
