Interesting statistic
Just heard that 75 percent of young people today are not eligible for military service for various reasons including physical condition, lack of education, drugs, felony convictions, etc. Serious reflection of the times we live in. |

About 30% can't pass the AFQT. Wow. That is some dumbing down of our education right there. https://0.tqn.com/z/g/usgovinfo/libr...e_to_serve.pdf |

Do you possibly mean "the national average for educational achievement"? |

I wonder how many high schoolers who aren't from well-off families opt for a continuation of their education in 2-year community colleges, rather than opt for the military. Two-year colleges seem to be growing in popularity and enrollment. |
