There are still at least six weeks to go before the public unveiling of the federal budget for 2019, but the Navy is already sending strong signals that it’s planning for the sort of personnel growth it might need in order to eventually field a fleet of 350 ships and to fill the manning shortfalls it has today.
Over the last two weeks, the service has pushed out several policy changes designed to hold onto as many of its existing sailors as possible, reversing programs that culled personnel from its ranks in prior years.
In one of the changes, the Navy told sailors last week that it was relaxing previous rules under which servicemembers could be kicked out by reason of physical fitness. The service ordered commands to put a stop to any actions they’ve taken to separate sailors simply because they’ve failed the Navy’s physical fitness assessment (PFA), a twice-a-year screening process that combines medical checkups with the Navy’s physical readiness test and body fat limits.
Instead, those servicemembers will be allowed to fail the PFA at least twice. Although they will be ineligible for promotions until they pass a PFA, they will continue to serve until they’ve lived up to their previously-agreed-on military service obligations.

Finally the public is catching on.
It just is no longer cool to join since the wars of aggression began in the Middle East.
The US Government cannot be defended there. They have terrible policy and there is plenty of evidence of war profiteering in the MSM stories. There is also obvious connections between the military and the tremendous increase in the inflow of Afghany Heroin. Remember, the Mullahs were destroying the poppy fields. They don't believe in it. It is the CIA and associates who keep the drugs flowing across all of our borders.
The US Military is responsible for corporate profiteering and drug smuggling these days.
It cannot be denied by any sane person.
Stop joining this criminal cabal.
Pray for peace.
