Case File #87: Fit to Serve

The Crisis Files

Mar 18 2024 • 14 mins

Call it a crisis in recruitment. A shrinking pool of potential recruits threatens to undermine military readiness for the United States. Obesity, drugs, educational aptitude, and mental health issues are disqualifying candidates at record rates, leaving only 22% of America’s youth fit to serve. Host Roshini Rajkumar welcomes retired four-star General Paul Funk to explore this recruitment crisis and solutions for building a strong volunteer military force. If you’re curious about serving, check out the Future Soldier Prep Course at goarmy.com. This 90-day prep course spearheaded by the Army and getting adopted by other branches could actually be a model for civilian workplaces. Thank you to all who serve!
