The days are gone when just about anyone could walk into a recruiter’s office and sign up for the military – whether it be to help pay for college or get themselves ‘straightened out’ for some personal issue they have or trouble with the law.
The Pentagon estimates that only about 25% of applicants are now qualified.
“Five years ago, if a kid had gotten caught with a (marijuana) joint in his car, that person would be pretty much a shoo-in” to enlist under a waiver, states Army recruiter Terrence Hoard. “Now you’re not authorized.”

IT IS EXTREMELY HARD FOR AN ARMY RECRUITER TO GET AND ENLISTEE THROUGH THE WRITTEN TEST AND THE PHYSICAL. WHEN I WAS A RECRUITER IN MUSKOGEE OKLAHOMA, WE HAD A 80% FAILURE OF THE WRITTEN TEST AND A 60% FAILURE OF THE PHYSICAL. THE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT LIMIT GOT A LOT OF THEM, THEN THERE THE ONES THAT RODE THE BULLS, TOO MANY BODY INJURIES, THE ONES THAT HAULED HAY WERE HARD TO GET PASS THE PHYSICAL, THE WRESTLERS AND BOXING GUYS WERE HARD TO GET BY THE PHYSICAL. THE ONES WITH A POLICE RECORD WERE EVEN HARDER, MOST INDIANS HAD 8 TO 12 PUBLIC DRUNK CHARGES AND COULD NOT GET THEM AND MOST FAILED THE WRITTEN TEST. THE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE THERE LEFT ME WITH THE 80% WRITTEN TEST FAILURE, IF THEY PLAYED SPORTS THEY WOULD GRADUATE EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD NOT READ AND WRITE AT A 8TH GRADE LEVEL. I COULD TELL YOU HORROR STORIES OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE I TRIED TO GET IN THE ARMY AND FAILED, AFTER 3 YEARS OF THAT $#%&!@*, I WENT BACK TO THE REGULAR ARMY. IT ALMOST RUIN MY CAREER. IF YOU MISSED SOMETHING ON AN APPLICANT, THE DRC TRIED TO COURT MARTIAL YOU, AND THREATEN YOU. THAT PRESSURE RUIN A LOT OF GOOD SOLDIERS AND CAUSED SOME TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
WOULD NOT WANT ANYONE TO SERVE UNDER THESE PEOPLE..
Meanwhile, he’s recruiting illegals into the Military.
