As a nurse and Soldier, I'm VERY excited to hear of these changes and look forward to seeing how it transforms the culture of fitness (especially within AMEDD).

It gets pretty bad when the military cannot meet recruiting goals because there are not enough physically qualified people out there to draw on. Preplacement fitness programs probably work to some degree, but it is a sad commentary to thin so many youths can't even get hired because they do not meet the basic physical fitness job requirements.

that is why a program like MAVNI is so important. Expands the recruiting pool, draws educated as well as multilingual recruits.

71 percent of young Americans between 17 and 24 are ineligible to serve in the United States military. This is one of the reasons why we developed Fire Team Whiskey. We need a culture change as a Nation and in our ranks! Our Enemies are not sitting around on their butts playing video games and eating Cheetos for hours a day. They are training, working out and focusing on being ready for the mission.

I swear they have been working on this for my whole Army career and I'm now retired. It's the equivalent to vaporware in my book.
