Army basic training to drop hand grenade competency as graduation requirement
The U.S. Army will drop its hand grenade competency requirement for graduation from basic training because getting recruits to pass it is taking “too much time” and they’re just not strong enough, Major General Malcolm Frost told reporters on Friday.
Changes to the Army’s Basic Combat Training (BTC) will eliminate the current hand grenade proficiency standards as a requirement for graduation, Military.com reports:
If you can't throw a grenade or navigate do we really need them in the Army?
Maybe don't graduate their asses and make em go through it again.
Some peoples kids I swear.
