The Army, Navy and Air Force are all expected to miss their 2023 recruiting goals

The Pentagon is considering a policy that would allow military applicants to use calculators on entrance exams as it continues to seek a way to combat the ongoing recruiting crisis.

The new policy would change how applicants take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, or ASVAB. Many young Americans have struggled to score high enough on the test to qualify for military service, according to a report from Military.com and confirmed by Fox News Digital.

The test, which both qualifies applicants for enlistment and determines what jobs an applicant is eligible for, has become a barrier for some potential recruits who would have otherwise joined the military, deepening what has already become one of the worst recruiting crises the Pentagon has faced.




Aw, hell.

Why not just give them the answers to the tests and be done with it or better yet, just do away with that nusiance testing and the Training that goes along after.

If they think they can fix a Blackhawk Helicopter, they CAN fix a Blackhawk Helicopter.

Put the Hoodies Crewz in charge of motor transport.

Find some Crips and Bloods and build a new age Infantry.

Dumbing it down will work well in a inflight emergency at 40K feet. Checklist? We don't need no stinkin checklist.
