Army Lowers Volunteer Requirements
The army reduces volunteer qualification scores to align with draftees. Volunteers now need a 70 minimum under the unified system, with lines for 90 previously required. Marine corps line duty remains 90, marine aviation 110, air force 100 without a high school diploma, and navy 106. The change aims to meet a call for 20,000 draftees and unify testing across services.
