Just want to point out that to be a military vet, you have to actually have been in the military.

If you have autism you cannot join the military. Same for ADHD, or use of any drugs to help with academic performance (ritlin, etc) after age 12.

You also can't be fat.

all of those things didnt exist when i went in,

I was referring to recruiting standards. If you get fat after you're in that's on you. :colbert:

"can you sign your own name, and do you buy even a single one of the things the recruiter is telling you"

"hot drat, welcome to the army"

This is true. I know someone rejected by Navy recruiters for failing to meet the weight requirement.

I'm sure standards will be lowered to the floor again if we choose to occupy Iran.

Being able to swim wasn't a requirement for enlisting in the Navy for most of America's existence. I'm not even sure if it is today.

not being able to swim means fewer navy veterans when the poo poo goes down which means fewer expenditures later

It isn't, also you can join the army fat but if you're still overweight after your boot camp+school they put you on a program where you basically have to lose 3 lbs a month until you pass standards, if you gently caress up twice in 6 months (maybe 12) your CO can chapter you (kick you out) ofc there's always dudes in units who are fat but they're like the only one who knows how to use a certain system or process gov credit cards so shady poo poo happens

The 4chan type dudes end up being beta or w.e. in the army tho cuz there's plenty of normal people and jocks and you all live together so people know if you're a weird shut in anime nerd or if you're at the club or with your girl or w.e.

it seems like losing 3 lbs a month when you have a controlled diet and exercise regimen should be incredibly easy

Once you're out of basic training you can pretty much do whatever on your own time. Including eat nothing but garbage.

You'd think so but a lot of dudes just don't have discipline, drinking is the biggest hobby in the military and a lot of these dudes eat pizza like 4 times a week and fast food for lunch every day then drink like 9000 calories worth of booze on the weekend, overall it's fairly rare that it'll go that far though, I think we had maybe 3-5 people over 3 years in a 700 person unit, then again a lot of dudes on the height and weight program are also lovely in other ways and get kicked out for something else while they're on the program.

i liked the guys that would sit in the sauna with a trashbag on to lose every ounce of water weight just before weigh ins and when they inevitably failed they'd blame it on their natural body size including an extra 80 pounds of fat.
