We all knew based on past practice that this would be their course to action.

Quoted: Meet your goals, by lowering your goals….brilliant. I bet the guy who thought of that was rewarded with another star! https://i.imgur.com/dBH3eWH.jpg View Quote Dropped goal an additional 10,000 from previous drops |

And they have a Russian from Belarus doing the article. I'm sure Putin appreciates all the inside info about the military.

Quoted: We have a new tape test going into affect in June. I'm hoping it'll help separate a large amount of the fat bodies. Key word, hoping. View Quote About damn time. I saw a couple soldiers recently who were grossly overweight and not because heavy musculature. Fat bastards with big guts plain and simple. One of my NCO’s said they can pass tape because of having thick necks. I have to wonder if they are passing the run after the sprint drag carry or if someone is pencil whipping their ACFT. |

One fool-proof way of reducing crime?
Just stop reporting crimes. Same thing! Look at those great numbers! Mission accomplished! |

Quoted: Article didn’t say a lot. I see the number of recruits was lowered but I wonder if they also lowered things like GT scores. Are they now wavering past criminal history, mental illness, age, and weight standards? View Quote Navy lowered scores Army claims it’s not But Army was 485,000 when Trump left office, now 442,000 Wormuth claims no impact on deployments which really means retention - we’ll see, I’m sure once Biden is gone all kinds of info will be available about what really was going on while he was CinC |

So, when is the "doing military stuff that Americans won't do anymore" slogan going to be the new hotness?

View Quote You would think that the 100% VA disability thing would be enough since gen Z loves to complain about how poor they are all the time It probably won't happen because they're importing people who want free shit. Even if you're only in the military for 4 years, some work is going to be involved apparently even that is too much |

View Quote Illegals and foreigners aren’t filling numbers anymore than the Obama era prediction that “we could draw on half the population if we open combat arms to women” trans, gender binary, none of these people are joining in large numbers just like they aren’t keeping Disney Star Wars films profitable |

My very good friend is recruiting right now. He said an issue recruiters are having is the Genesis program. It automatically pulls all medical and DQs people.
No more hiding medical stuff. |

View Quote Interesting when you consider they have done away with many incentives for Physicians. There used to be a number of programs that helped offset the pay differential between mil and civilian. I doubt AMEDD is hitting their goals either |

With the Genesis program hes saying whats getting a lot of people is childhood conditions that they have outgrown or issues that no longer affect them. They have to go back to the Dr to get cleared on their dime and most people dont have the ability to do that financially. |

Maybe they can pickup the ones waiting on a ride in Niger?

Quoted: I was at Ft McNair briefly last month and saw same so guessing other than USMC all branches have similar issue to one degree or another given what I’ve seen on USAF personnel View Quote The Marine Corps use to have “Fat Farm” called Physical Conditioning Platoon or PCP for short. Being transferred to a PCP was akin to being in a Correctional Custody Platoon. Life sucks in both types of platoons. There was a great motivation not to be there. This was back during the draft. |

They just need to inspire young folks. Really drive home what a shitty country this is, just how awful the founding fathers were. Make sure they all know how racist borders are. Teach them the value of equity so they will applaud when the right people exceed beyond their merits. It’s not hard to inspire them.

Are they now wavering past criminal history, mental illness, age, and weight standards? View Quote People were up in arms when they saw a Downs afflicted person in a trench in UKR. We will not be far behind. The military used to refuse anyone testing below an IQ of 85 as there was literally nothing that they could do to add effectiveness (not even cook). The question is whether they are lowering that standard (along with the BMI and physical standards) or whether they will simply accept a much higher percentage of 85's, which will still lower overall effectiveness even more. Woke idiots gonna idiot... |
