(NewsNation) — Army recruits at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, may appear to be going through the motions of most beginner soldiers, but they’re part of a slightly different crop.
This group is made up of people who want to do the job and serve their country, but are just slightly below the army’s strict standards.
“I think we’ve realized that we need to be part of the solution for society, not only from the physical fitness side but also from the academic side, in untapping someone’s true potential here,” Brig. Gen. Patrick R. Michaelis told NewsNation.
