THANK YOU!....Nadita

US MILITARY recruiting challenges: recruitment of American men down (NOT deceitful, as are criminal ISIS methods!)

REASONS:

>No high school education

>Obesity and other health issues

>History of crime

Of course - to be honest, that's not that big a deal at the moment since they are still trying to cut another 1800 men from the Army alone.  My son in law is an Active Army recruiter. Currently, he cannot take prior service unless it is in certain specialty areas, and his current quota (Mission as they call it) for the first quarter of this year is 3 non-prior service recruits - 1 a month. 

 

The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes a decrease of 40,160 in total end strength for the active forces and a decrease of 8,180 in end strength for the Selected Reserve as compared to the fiscal year 2013 authorized levels.

It IS a major concern as far as our FUTURE defense strength goes!  AND, what it says of the culture and the 

state of our young men, age 18 to 25!

I do agree that is does say something about our culture - and it's not good.  We have created a monster with our diet, the new sedentary lifestyle of most of our kids ("gamers") and even our use of leisure time.  It's going to take some effort to make some true societal level changes. just on the physical side.

 

I know the military used to take GED's - but that changed a few years ago with the drawdown. So lack of a high school diploma has become a big showstopper for a number. I do get the feeling that if things happen, that will go away pretty quickly, and GED and minimum ASVAB score will again be the determining factor.

 

It also used to be a bit easier to get a what they called a "morality waiver" also  It used to take a fairly serious criminal  misconduct charge to stop entry, but now even a misdemeanor can cause some problems.  Heck - minor nontraffic charges are being looked at. 

 

 

 

 

Even the Army has lowered its standards. To graduate basic training, the standards for the Physical Fitness Test are actually lower than what is required once you are assigned to a unit.  They are now basically sending soldiers to units that cannot meet the minimum standards and expect them to get them to that minimum shape in 6 months.
