Inside the REAL boot camp: US Army expands scheme to get flabby, low-grade wannabes into shape and into uniforms, after last year's dismal 15,000 recruitment dropoff
2023-01-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Students have 90 days to lose weight, or they're out

  • They flail around fields with kettle balls in a strict weight-loss regimen

  • Dieticians, physical therapists, and athletics coaches help them shed pounds

  • So far, more than 90 percent of applicants have graduated on to basic training

  • Only 23 percent of young Americans are smart or fit enough to join the Army
    I think they mean and here, not or.
  • Low quality applicants and a lively job market made 2022 a bad recruitment year
