Army Relaxing Mental Health Standards for Recruitment

[John Morris]

Just heard on the news, that the Army is now going to overlook mental health issues during the recruitment process, including substance abuse and other personal issues. I guess they are not hitting their recruitment goals these days.

 

So they are now just opening this up to troubled youth? Hmmm, I'm just trying to figure out how the hell I got in then!!! I must of really fooled em!

Does the Army supply their drugs?  Oh well, an Army medical disability will get them off Social Security.  Must be a money saving thing.

Raise the pay, give generous enlistment/reenlistment bonuses. Better yet, make two years of service mandatory for all those physically capable. Then, skim the cream.
