MARINES LAND ON OKINAWA:

 

The photo was taken during an exercise conducted November 2. The vehicle in the background is an Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAVP-7A1, which carries personnel).

 

Here’s one “swimming”— this page also has background data on the vehicle.

 

What is this 1944?

Army lifts ban on waivers for recruits with history of some mental health issues

 

WASHINGTON – People with a history of “self-mutilation,” bipolar disorder, depression and drug and alcohol abuse can now seek waivers to join the Army under an unannounced policy enacted in August, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY.

 

The decision to open Army recruiting to those with mental health conditions comes as the service faces the challenging goal of recruiting 80,000 new soldiers through September 2018.

 

 To meet last year's goal of 69,000, the Army accepted more recruits who fared poorly on aptitude tests, increased the number of waivers granted for marijuana use and offered hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses.

Either the economy is a lot better or what Trump might do next.

 

Normally  they would offer a big enough reenlistment bonus to keep experienced and the well trained .

 

Maybe morale is low due to low funding for maintenance ?

Kim Jong Un’s regime is pursuing an “aggressive schedule” to construct its first operational ballistic missile submarine, an analysis of satellite images indicated as North Korea scoffs at international condemnation and moves to complete its missile and nuclear program.

Aren't those who self harm called trannies?

 

Funny, i see the headline being made to be saved for a later date: "Trump military reforms allowed 6 killed by mentally crazed gunman enlisted." Sub line "Drs advised against possession of firearm, US army trained him as a marksman. Trump kills children."
