Yea recruitment numbers have cratered because anybody of the right age to sign up has only seen the American military as a failing institution that loses meaningless wars against farmers halfway around the world combined with seeing how we treat veterans for their entire life.

But also something like 80% of Americans couldn't pass the basic fitness test.

Isn't the fitness test basically an easier version of one punch man's training? Like 100 pushups, 100 situps, run a 5k or some shit

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's more like 50x 50x 2 mile run.

Like I said 80% of Americans couldn't pass it.

It's really wild to me how lax that seems if such a high # of people couldn't do it. Like I'm kinda out of shape and I'm pretty sure I still got all that in me

It's probablly more like 60 to 70 percent that actually can't do it but if you take a 30 minute walk your easily the top 25% of Americans in terms of physical fitness.

The rest of the percentage comes from disqualifying anybody who needs psych prescriptions.

Damn I can barely do 30 at a time, can’t imagine getting that to 100

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I never said i did them all at once to start. Do 30 and then take a little break. Then do another 30. Repeat. That's 90 pushups, close enough to 100 imo. Do that every hour and your triceps will become steel ropes

That's why you just have to shave your head so it's skin tight, you don't need it perfectly waxed

Makes me feel good that I used to do cardio work 4 hours a day and I didn't serve my country.
