The military may relax recruiting standards for fitness and pot use
Grrrreeeaaaattt... Women in the infantry, and the rest of our ranks filled out with fat pot heads. Brilliant!
They're just not going to be happy until the entire force is a bad joke, will they? :roll:
Incidentally, anyone on the "they won't lower standards" bandwagon can go ahead and eat their hats now.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter has launched a sweeping review of the military's recruiting standards, saying current rules for screening new entrants may be “overly restrictive” and preventing America's most talented young people from joining the ranks.
Among the benchmarks that will get new scrutiny: fitness standards, marijuana use, tattoo regulations and the military’s longtime reluctance to allow single parents to start military careers.
