The US Navy has lowered its education standards to meet recruitment goals, allowing individuals without high school diplomas or GEDs to enlist as long as they score 50 or above on the qualification test. This move follows a previous decision to enlist recruits who scored very low on the Armed Services Qualification Test, raising concerns about national security risks. The Navy's struggle to attract recruits has led to this significant policy change.

I had no idea how dramatically the US Navy has dropped its entry standards. They’ll take pretty much anyone at this point. The bottom of the barrel. This will result in a generational national security risk.
