Is lowering fitness standards a good idea?
Recruiting problems mean many militaries of the world are understaffed. Is it worth lowering fitness standards if that’s what it takes to keep the military from shrinking to an inpractical size?
Keeping in mind that society has gone soft, and the average young man can’t get down and do fifty pushups anymore. Sort of a trade-off between a large, powerful deployable force and a small, elite professional defence force.
For non combat jobs yes. I know person that was in for 15 years, her could not do a push-up but he knew about ships radar system like the back of his hand. You make think that these marines a valuble, but the truth is they are consider worthless. You can give anyone a gun and have him run on a battlefield. But not everyone can be a tech. I spend over a year in school when I was in the navy study electronics. I can could not advance because I was over weight. I was to busy working and also there is no place for PT on a small. So I left the navy. At the Et were 30% undermanned. But they will keep a slim person who keep his shoes shined, his uniformed pressed but is dead weight.
I lose the weight when I got on, but would never consider going back.
