We need to return to the basics: Reading, Writing, Math, & Dodge Ball.
The army had this same program when I went to basic in 1975. The taught trainees how to read and write before going to basic training. It was called STC (Special Training Company)
LOL. Correct. And extra dodge ball for the slackers and the misfits. Dodge ball teaches pain and humiliation, two vital skills for success in a meritocracy such as ours.
