The Army and Navy have successfully met recruitment goals earlier than expected, reversing a trend of shortages from previous years. This increase in recruits is influenced by economic factors such as a shaky job market and high educational costs, which historically lead young people to consider military service. Despite these rising numbers, a significant challenge remains: around 75% of potential recruits do not meet the military's health and fitness standards. To address this, both branches have introduced pre-boot camps to help candidates prepare better.
Fewer job openings and a slowing economy have historically pushed more young job seekers toward the military.
Nearly 75% of young Americans cannot meet the health, fitness, and academic standards required to join the military.
The Army and Navy have made herculean efforts to usher not-yet-qualified young people into pre-boot camps where they can gain necessary skills.
The steep cost of higher education and fewer openings in the traditional labor market could mean that more young people are looking for alternative career paths.
