Less than a week after it began, Army Recruiting Command has paused a controversial accessions program that allowed prospective soldiers with high qualification test scores to enlist without a high school diploma or equivalency, according to documents obtained by Army Times and an Army official.
Command officials sent out an urgent email Wednesday morning informing recruiters of the change. A source provided the email to Army Times.
“The 111 Non-Grad (NA) enlistment program has been suspended. Those...who have enlisted are authorized to ship [to training],” the email said. “Any other [non-grads] projected for enlistment today are authorized to enlist, but all other projection MUST be cancelled immediately. No exceptions are authorized.”
