The US Navy has raised the maximum age limit for contract service

The command of the US Navy has decided to raise the maximum age for the recruitment of recruits to 41 years. This is due to the lack of staff. The US Navy, like the US armed forces as a whole, has been experiencing a sharp decline in recruitment for more than a year. Every year there are fewer and fewer people willing to serve in navy.

Thus, the US Navy currently has the highest age limit. You can enlist in the US Army until the age of 35, in the Marine Corps - up to 28 years. Exceptions are made only for people who have special permission from the command. The services responsible for the recruitment claim that many potential military personnel would like to enter the service earlier, but for some reason they were unable to do so. As a result, now they have the opportunity to become military personnel even at the age of 40.

Navy officers say that more mature recruits tend to be more motivated and have a better understanding of why they join the military. Such people can quickly move to leadership positions.

In addition to raising the age limit, the US Navy is also easing a number of previously existing restrictions. For example, the navy allowed single parents, people with a large number of visible tattoos, and those who use marijuana to serve. The personnel service says that these people can also make good sailors, so we need to move away from outdated standards for recruiting volunteers.

Naturally, at the same time, the US Navy, like other branches of the armed forces, increases the financial component of motivation and promises all sorts of benefits for recruits. However, problems with the recruitment of military personnel will still be of a systemic nature. This is due both to the demographic situation - the reduction in the number of young people and the aging of the population, and to the socio-economic and socio-cultural aspects of the development of modern society - people in civilian professions can easily earn no less than military personnel, but without having to bear the hardships of military service and risk their lives.

And in the photo, as a visual demonstration of the essence of the issue, are sailors with chronic prostatitis?

Most likely with chic enuresis, after 3 liters of beer for each

authorized the recruitment of single parents, persons with a large number of conspicuous tattoos and those who use marijuana.

Tattoos really do not affect the speed and quality of the performance of official duties, but there are big doubts about the lovers of "dope" that they can make good sailors. Although if you remember that they also have strategists on combat duty, they indulge in this, then what a demand from a sailor.

The demographic problem is not new. It has covered all developed countries with its dark blanket for half a century. And every year the situation will only worsen. So raising the age limit is a completely logical outcome. The trend towards a general aging of the white population of the planet is obvious.
