It seems these targets get reviewed and excluded if they are no longer targets. To me, it looks like someone was not paying attention for ten yrs.

I guess there will be lots of graffiti on the bills going forward

They are having problems meeting the fitness standard right now. It seems these tests just get harder as you age.

The standards are really not that hard for someone who works out regularly. Which, if you’re joining the army you should probably be going to the gym.

If you’re being drafted, chances are you had no desire to be joining the army.

Nobody's being drafted because there's no draft in US since vietnam war

Are you registered for Selective Service? If a draft occurs, which is likely rare but certainly possible under current circumstances, your options will be flee the country or elect conscientious objector status and experience whatever treatment you will experience from doing so.

Presumably a 42 year old who can meet the fitness tests will be a better candidate than a 25 year old who cannot. Less 42 year olds will be able to meet the requirements, but the ones that do are what they’re after.

Note that fitness standards are bracketed by age, so the standards themselves get more lenient as age increases. The standards in question: https://www.goarmy.com/content/dam/goarmy/files/HQDA_EXORD_2...

You know the story about how the frogs, thrown into a hot pot will jump out. But, if you turn up the heat slowly, they just eventually die? Well, the other day, at work, we were called into a room to watch a mandatory video of frogs in this environment. I actually noticed that management had turned the thermostat up really high. I hopped out of that meeting very quickly.

I have always wondered when I used the pair of chopsticks to push food on my fork, if there was a name for my type.

Ranking, Celsius, Centigrade have the degrees. Kelvin is a base unit, absolute and no degree!

Are you suggesting that melting them will increase the value?

Morning Fred! Morning Sam.

Yep! Maybe some money could be put in a s&p500 equal weight index?

This is not my first rodeo.
