You didn't get the prepackaged "grilled cheese"? I am not joking, this was a real thing my real school really served. I was astonished that such a thing was real.

Sounds like a net win

Here in the states the recruiters just lowered their standards for health and education, maybe on the pretense they can smarten / thin their recruits a bit during basic.

So this is why counter-recruitment still has work to do. Remember whatever the US Armed forces promises you, it doesn't count if it's not written in your contract, and it won't make much of a difference if you discharge out medically or are dead. And a lot of people are grievously wounded or killed in the military way before the combat happens.

PS: Your recruiting officer will lie to you. Mine did.

Good! The fatter others become, the better my physique looks in comparison.

Do you really need to be fit to operate a drone from a computer console?

You gotta fit through the door

That's why we invented work from home!

Mentally fit, and physically fit enough to pass basic training and not get scoffed at. A lot of reading involved too. Can involve PTSD. Drones from the field? Standard soldier stuff. They're only a few kilometers at most away from their drones

Our generation will end war, just not the way we expected it.
