WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Navy is starting to enlist individuals who didn't graduate from high school or get a GED, marking the second time in about a year that the service has opened the door to lower-performing recruits as it struggles to meet enlistment goals.

Making the men wear high heels so they ‘can walk a mile in women’s shoes’ was just criminal.
That plus all the trans who are joining so the military will pay $100,000+ for their gender surgeries - funny how the enlistment time is pretty much equal to the signing up, starting hormones and therapy and then surgery, recovery and then their time is over and they can leave.
Yep -can you even imagine what it would be like to work under a woman who has been promoted because she checks a box?
Angry, bitter, man hating, determined to make everyone pay and promoting all her like minded friends while getting rid of the old white guys.
During the Vietnam war they took anyone and anybody. Why not now? Oh yeah. We lost.
All they want is libtards so they have to continue to lower the standards
No hurry. The Navy can’t keep its ships in the water anyway.
They all know exactly why. They just cannot admit it in public.
We can reprint all the manuals in Spanish.
But they probably can’t read Spanish, either.
its a Tower of Babel. The US Military bringing in low IQ, uneducated, disparate illegals will ruin the US Military as much as bringing in wokesters and trannies.
Cutting edge tech with dull operators...what could go wrong?
Others have suggested these are hints that the admin is preparing for us to go to war.

We had the best-educated military we had ever had during that decade and they were awesome in battle, and unlike WWII they were overwhelmingly volunteers, not draftees.
The men fighting the war did not lose on the battlefield.
Turns out that the feral government overestimated by about 99% the numbers of trannies, homos, lesbos,
snowflakes, pansies and regular old sexual perverts willing to give their lives for their country.
Zombies with sh*t-for-brains who will shoot their fellow Americans when ordered to do so. That’s all that matters for the US military.
There were a few on my ship who had a choice: jail or Navy.
So is the US Border Patrol. Agents are bailing at a record pace. I hear they are so desperate they are offering a 30K signing bonus.
That's never happened before.
Also the lives of our servicemen and women mean absolutely nothing to Traitor Joe and those who support his regime, so he has no qualms about sending the military to be killed, or leaving them behind.
I agree, I was there. We were an incredible fighting force. But, the politicians didn't let us win.
“During the Vietnam war they took anyone and anybody.”
Actually, that didn’t happen in the Navy and Airforce. A lot of smart, capable and non criminals gladly joined the Navy or Air Force to avoid going to Nam as a soldier.
I spent the last 3 years of reserve duty at a big Navy Reserve center in the DC area as a recruiter.
My job was to cherry pick those wanting to join the Navy with diplomas or degrees.
The best candidates had passed the mental tests, police checks, medical checkups, and drivers’ license checks to avoid the losers.
I was Naval Security Group, and we often got first choice of the candidates. My other priorities were potential OCS candidates, Seabees, possible Naval Academy candidates.
We often had a backup bucket list of good candidates.
We/I looked for those with good math and English abilities, and tried to get the right “fit” for them and the Navy.
Men with Good math skills and electronic interests were priorities for my 3 years at the center.
New standard: Did you ever play with toy boats in the bathtub as a child?
Shows aptitude and interest.
Note: I used to have a plastic destroyer and a submarine. The sub could go under the tub water and would shoot a spring loaded torpedo you could aim against the trap door on the side of the ship and make it throw pieces into the air.

Strange thing to post if you knew better.
