I just read the Army is dropping is HS Degree or GED requirement due to missing their recruitment goals by 40%. They are also lowering the standards in tattoos. I disagree with the tattoo deal but then I just don't like tattoos for some reason. As far as a HS Graduate when I came in you didn't have to be one but you had to get your GED at some point if you wanted to make a career of the Army and to progress past SGT E-5(Buck SGT).

The Navy on the other hand is starting to punish sailors who don't use the correct pronoun for their(I hope that is the right word) fellow sailors. So I guess if you have tranny woman(Used to be a man) for a commandeer you should say "Yes Mam". I wonder what % of the Navy is "happy", as a former Airborne Ranger I would think about 70% is the right answer but I may be off a little😉 Well good luck with that when you start going toe to toe with fricking commie's.

I quit school my senior year at 17 and enlisted, parent had to sign for me and wouldn't unless they put in the contract that I would finish HS with a diploma (not a GED) anyways after basic/AIT got to my permanent duty station and when reporting in, the CO said welcome to the bayonet division, you start HS Monday morning! Four weeks later I had a diploma, no electives just required classes to complete it. I don't care either way about tattoos, but I believe they should be required to at least get the GED before advancing above E-3.

I never once got in trouble for saying "sir" to a female officer when I was in the Navy....and it did happen, but hearing there is a group out there who feel like being called the wrong pronoun is worthy of losing their minds just makes me worry for our military.
