WASHINGTON – The U.S. Navy is starting to enlist individuals who didn’t graduate from high school or get a GED, marking the second time in about a year that the service has opened the door to lower-performing recruits as it struggles to meet enlistment goals.
Their recruitment ads are getting laughably desperate, too–all crazy CGI and sci-fi fantasies aimed at gullible COD nerds. They almost got me (poor kid straight out of high school, I was vulnerable) and haven’t stopped chasing me ever since. It’s been like 8 years and I still get recruitment material targeted at me, somehow–one of them even texted me like a year or two ago.
Maybe if they paid better, took better care of veterans, and weren’t part of a bloodthirsty genocide machine slaughtering innocent people, they wouldn’t be having so much trouble.
