Middle East
Forums:
So the US is about to open a can of whoop ass on Iranian proxies in Syria and probably the Iranian Revolutionary Guard too.
I understand why the Navy needs to keep a check on Houthi pirates, but otherwise what's the reason for this again?

I have no idea what the administration's goals are, but the military doesn't recruit dropouts. One has to have a diploma or GED.

The Navy said Friday that it will allow those without a high school diploma to enlist as long as they score a 50 or higher on the Armed Forces Qualification Test that all prospects must take, the latest move to boost recruitment in the face of an historic recruiting crisis reverberating across the services.

Now for some context this
Now for some context this doesn't literally mean the Navy is going to start enlisting "dropouts". At least not in the colloquial sense. It means the Chief of Naval personnel will consider waiving this single requirement provided the applicant is otherwise fully qualified.
So if you know someone of enlistment age with less than a twelfth grade education, who can also score at or above the 50th percentile of testers, doesn't have any criminal record, doesn't have any kinds of medical conditions, injuries/surgeries, or take daily medications, doesn't have any kids, isn't on the threshold of bankruptcy, can pass a national agency screening, isn't overweight (or underweight), AND also happens to want to join the Navy
Well then, congratulations because you've met a real life unicorn
