Description

The Navy is now dropping educational requirements for enlistment. You no longer have a high school diploma or GED to sign up for service. This new plan will allow recruits to bypass the education credential if they can score a 50 on their qualification test. Just FYI, that’s out of 99. In school, a 50 out of 99 would be a failing grade. But welcome to America, where when you’re failing you're actually succeeding. How desperate are they? Well, it’s been more than 20 years since the Navy last relaxed educational requirements.
