I didn't think that Navy Boot Camp was all that physical, at least it didn't seem that way to me.
@Elderberry It's not,but with the push on to get more women in uniform,and the large numbers of recruits they push through the system,they are bound to get a few in every batch that have undiscovered physical problems.
50 years ago everyone would have said "That's really sad.",and then shrugged and added "But it's the cost of doing business." NOBODY is going to say that anymore,and with each year that passes the training,and our military,become less and less effective.
Think I am kidding? Just TRY to find the record of how many blacks have flunked out of US Army Ranger and Special Forces training over the last two decades.
