Barrie Stevens Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 This fellow in his writings refers to the US military as being made up of the poorer element of society who join up because they want to learn to read and write. Whereas the US Army recruiting websites clearly state that with few exceptions a potential recruit must be a High School graduate with additional college credits to the diploma. Officer applicants require a four year Bachelor degree...Then there are other stipulations....I give a link...The US Army changed after Vietnam and went over to recruiting "Regulars"...Although there are educational "perks".. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjnqIHOzcrWAhVjFMAKHc-9Ab4QFgg-MAM&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.military.com%2Fjoin-armed-forces%2Fjoin-the-military-basic-eligibility.html&usg=AFQjCNEutmOqnZ4GOduFqw2eE4tNU-74Xg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The EU commission dithers, deliberately stalling the process, imho, probably because the EU must sort its own arrangements first, as a 27-member entity, before it can enter into definitive talks. It's gonna be a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballaughbiker Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Quote Some of you may have noticed that Sterling has appreciated quite a bit this year against the Dollar from 1.21 to 1.34 and rose together with the appreciating Euro. The appreciating € ? It was 1.13 today, much less than the spring. What base point are they using and why? Now waiting for someone to allege it was overvalued and that was the cause of the cliff edge drop over a day a year last June.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
