Description
The Team isn't super pumped with the news.  From the Air Force Times: "The Air Force has loosened its restrictions on body fat for new recruits, one of the latest moves to grow the pool of potential applicants amid the military’s recruiting crisis. In the past, men and women’s bodies needed to be 20% or 28% fat, respectively, to be eligible for service. Air Force Recruiting Service spokesperson Leslie Brown said Monday that benchmark is now 26% for men and 36% for women." So why did the Air Force make the decision?! And most importantly, how does the team feel about it? Uh, not good.  Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9aFBBZoBcQk8UUN_pO7nDA/join Chapters 00:00 Ambush intros and Cheshire Cats 01:07 Air Force Misses Recruiting Goals and Loosens BMI Standards 21:48 Importance of High Standards and Leadership 26:45 Discussion on Exceptions and Cyber Command 28:09 Story of Scottie Gearing's Survival 28:37 The Importance of Maintaining High Standards 29:35 The Negative Consequences of Lowering Standards 35:20 The Need for Disciplined and Highly Qualified Candidates 40:34Addressing the Issue of Obesity in the Military Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9aFBBZoBcQk8UUN_pO7nDA/join Collabs: Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready Alpha Brew Coffee Company - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLete CardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADY Dread River - Promo Code: ONESREADY Eberlestock - Promo Code: OR10 Hoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY Trench Coffee Company - Promo Code: ONESREADY The content provided is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
