Thank you.
Someone who knew something about the system and the recruiting suggested that the problem was that every time some new problem comes up with somebody in the military, they add another requirement in terms of recruitment. As a result, over the years we've added on requirement after requirement, so now it's so difficult to get people to pass all these requirements. What do you think of that statement?
Number two is that I was also told that there is a four A's requirement, that if you have asthma, allergies, ADHD or anxiety, you don't qualify. It seems to me that this would exclude a whole lot of people who would be exceedingly qualified. For example, with regard to asthma, two or three of my six kids have asthma, but they had asthma as kids. They hardly ever have asthma anymore. It's not really an issue. However, the army would seemingly say that, no, they don't qualify, even though they might be stellar candidates.
So, I have two questions. The first is about too many requirements, and the second is about the medical requirements and the possibility of easing them.
