Navy Detransitions From 'Digital Recruiting Program' Featuring Drag Queen | ZeroHedge

Guess the drag queen recruiting program did not go well?

Even worse is now they have lowered AFQT(ASFAB) standards to the point most with a first grade reading level could pass it. Accepting the bottom 10-30%(Navy,the army did this during the Iraq war for a time) has never been done before,and they are estimating it will now make up 20% of new recruits. Wonder how this will turn out?

The service also changed its standards to allow recruiters to take candidates who scored in the 10th to 30th percentile on the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). The revised standards permitted recruiters to fill around 20 percent of their fiscal year 2023 quota with candidates who scored in the 10th to 30th percentile on the AFQT, dubbed "Category IV" candidates.

DOD takes mind-blowing step to prevent men and women from being called “men” and “women”

Even if the recipient identifies as male or female, they can only use gender-neutral terms on their awards....

I don't even know where to begin. The Squids missed their recruiting goal by about 20%, despite filling 20% of the positions with people who had AVERAGE ASVAB scores were lower than 30? There are four tests, (for example) you can have no mechanical ability whatsoever and still average a decent score.

Maybe somebody who is more familiar than me can chime in: do Officers take the ASVAB? I know there is a pilot/navigator test taken by Officer candidates, maybe another test that deals with golf and which wine to serve at which occasion

This is the 50th anniversary of the total force/all volunteer Military. I did see what a conscription Military looks like in the RoK. It is VERY VERY different than our Military and that was 30 years ago.

Can 20% of the jobs be done by individuals who wouldn't have made it passed MEPS a year ago? I think the answer is OH HELLZ NO!!

Good news for the sharp troops: you won't have to study as hard for promotion.

I had a rather cynical saying about Big Blue: there's never a problem until planes start falling from the sky." All the services are about to have a big problem. Not Space Force, just the ones who can't do their job from Colorado.

Didn't desertion used to be punishable by hanging or firing squad?

The way the news made it sound, they didn't want the POS and gave him the boot.

Pretty sure that only happens in time of war.

Given this administration and what we gave Iran...probably a billion or two.

According to Goo-Gull, 49 out of 21,000 soldiers convicted of desertion in WWII were sentenced to death. Of those 49, only Private Eddie Slovik was actually executed and his was the first execution carried out since the Civil War.
43 traded 5 Gitmo residents for Bo Bergdahl, who was subsequently court-martialed for desertion and walked off with a dishonorable discharge.

And one of the 5 bad guys traded for that POS was taking selfies in the Presidential palace after Kabul fell in 96 hours.

I just recently read an article where MCRD Parris Island had a male recruit graduate that is 4'7" tall. It is believed he is the shortest member of the military ever. In the article, it mentioned other recruits in his platoon said he was an inspiration to them.

I realize there was an SF Captain in Vietnam that was 4'9". On the one hand, I say, "Good for him!" It is inspiring. Yet, he is very small. We used to have height and weight standards for a reason. When I was in, I was 5'10" and 175 lbs. Would a 4'7" Marine be able to drag my wounded butt back to the rear without help?

Desmond Doss was supposed to be pretty small.
I don't know height or weight, but supposedly small.


Yet...

I hope they bring it to our shores. regardless how weak our military is at that point there are still several hundred million firearms and millions of firearm owners here. As Yamamoto stated " there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
