I mean, if any of them find the truth, likely that the chopper pilot just simply hit the jet, and say so, will they take the non-trivial risk of getting fired? Probably not. And, of course, what if the pilot of the chopper was Army DEI (the kind that passes the white, sub-GED cohort through)? The USofA military has been reducing quals for years. True fact.
According to Pentagon data, 23% of Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 meet all eligibility requirements.Ok, if you didn't read up the link, ASVAB is the "IQ" test that wannabe military have to pass. So, in order to combat (pardon the pun) the actual failure rate, the Army set up a "Prep Course" structure to get them to pass. Now, whether this is actually a learning exercise or just a rote, "here's the answers, now memorize them", only The Shadow knows.
Army officials have said the coronavirus pandemic has also made recruiting more difficult, as ASVAB test scores are down almost 10% since the start of the crisis. "They just can't pass it," McConville said. "It's harder for people today to pass it than it was before."
The Army typically has the lowest minimumHere's another report citing ASVAB
The service estimates that only about 23% of young Americans are even qualified for service, most of that issue stemming from an obesity crisis and falling academic performance, leading to poor ASVAB scores.And, to be clear, while officers can fly choppers, the intended source of chopper pilots is the enlisted army, who come in the usual recruitment door.
