Another reason why the military is losing its luster within the larger population...

Explains those frequent radio messages from the “Ad Council”
that encourage kids to stay in school ... “sponsored by the U. S. Army”.

And Urban ‘Black youths’ are going to adversely effected because of their culture of ‘being black’ and not ‘acting white’ by learning how to tread and write well enough to graduate and go on to college.

So how long before they start getting waivers, eh?

A recruiter for 7 years. I wonder how many ships she served on? And she denies men to serve in the Navy. What are the standards now? Do they have a HS diploma? Are they fit? Just how exactly is she saying no to people who want to serve? This sounds to me like so much BS.

Here is the scoop on joining the military today (ENLISTED):

You must be in excellent health and physically fit. You will take a physical fitness test at the recruiter.
You must have a HS diploma. A GED will not cut it.
You must have not ONE ISSUE with the law. Period. Your background will be researched.
You will be tested (SAT type test) before being allowed to take the oath. Score too low and no enlistment

Bottom line: If you came from a failing school, never played sports, had one stupid run in with the law or have one minor issue medically - you are not getting in.

The sad part is that the kids that really need the military will now not have the chance...

Plenty of room for queers and for women in the combat arms, but the kind of people we want, there's no room for.

In this and the huge numbers that will be ejected from the military in the coming are more seeds of a failing economy.

It is going to happen, get ready for it.
