Air Force Tightens Recruiting Standards in Arizona
Lt. Eugene Mills, Tucson recruiting officer, says applicants must score 100 percent on mental tests to be considered for enlistment, up from 90 percent. The new bar follows a general cutback in air force quotas as army enlistments run higher. Only about three or four Arizona recruits are accepted monthly compared with over one daily in the regular army, Mills reports.
