Recruits' Ineligibility Tests the Military
More Than Two-Thirds of American Youth Wouldn't Qualify for Service, Pentagon Says




ETA: when I took the test for the army in 1988 I qualified for everything but cryptology... The test was not hard and I graduated high school with a 2.4 GPA.

My younger brother had a previous (deferred) drug charge from when he was 16/17 and they wouldn't even talk to him. And you know how ruthless those recruiters are.

What are "cosmetic reasons" exactly?

And yet the Navy is in the process of kicking a large portion of experienced sailors out of the service.

I actually think I wouldn't be eligible to enlist if I wanted to. I was born with a medical condition that may prevent it. I obviously won't say what it is but it limits my physical ability. But I would never enlist so. . . .

Is this Chuck Hagel's way of saying we need more homos and transgendereds? I would think the latter, and most of the former, would fit in well with the 28%.

when i went through MEPS there was a rumor that they wouldn't let a guy through because he failed his physical due to "infantile penis syndrome"

can you imagine going back to your family and telling your parents you didn't get in because you had a baby dick?

Thanks Dad

Based on the requirements it seems low just to qualify. Making it is a different story, this is just to qualify to get in and their requirements are not that hard to meet.

No branch would let me join because I had 4 metal pins put in my knee due to an acl surgery.
