The United States Army has loosened its belt on one of its employment test requirements.
The Army recently announced a waiver program to allow overweight enlistees who can’t pass the test for employment a second chance at joining. The Army hopes the program will help increase the number of young people eligible to join the military and give those who are overweight an incentive to get back into shape.
The program allows those who wouldn’t qualify for the military because of their weight a chance to get into shape after joining. Currently, according to an article by The Christian Science Monitor, the program has helped the Army make its recruiting goals despite the tumultuous economy.
