PrintThe Navy is lowering its recruitment standards
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.
The decision follows a move in December 2022 to bring in a larger number of recruits who score very low on the Armed Services Qualification Test. Both are fairly rare steps that the other military services largely avoid or limit, even though they are all finding it increasingly difficult to attract the dwindling number of young people who can meet the military’s physical, mental and moral standards.
Under the new plan, Navy recruits without an education credential will be able to join as long as they score 50 or above on the qualification test, which is out of 99. The last time the service took individuals without education credentials was in 2000.
“We get thousands of people into our recruiting stations every year that want to join the Navy but do not have an education credential. And we just turn them away,”
Maybe they should focus on China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea instead.
After all, that is what most people posing as journalists do.
They just repeat Democrat talking points to push the Democrat agenda without asking questions. They spread misinformation all the time to interfere in elections and then falsely claim they care about misinformation.
And that is essentially what Artificial Intelligence is. Someone programs the computers and you get garbage in, garbage out.
Algorithms after all, are designed by humans.
