Army dropped requirements also https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/06/24/army-drops-requirement-high-school-diploma-amid-recruiting-crisis.html
No diploma? No problem! Navy again lowers requirements as it struggles to meet recruitment goals https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/Navy-recruiting-high-school-diploma-e85090
As a retired soldier I am ashamed to say that the Marines might be the better way to go at this point though I know this issue is endemic of the entire military.
Isn't the Marines the elite group?
They would like you to think so. I just know they tend to not lower their standards as dramatically or frequently. I worked with them a lot while I was in. They are great but aren’t special. The reason I said what I said was because they tend to not mess with their requirements.
There are some serious long term problems with lowering standards that I just don’t want to type out. The army and navy are going to have a hard time with leadership in the next 5-10 years by lowering standards.
Thank you for the info.
