Why can’t we meet recruiting goals? Many reasons and the issue is complicated. But we do know that white males are dropping out of everything, from being students to being accomplished tradesmen, well-educated professionals and signing up for the military.
We have a problem.
No. Most that were accepted played a varsity support in High School. It’s not a requirement at the USNA or at NROTC units. They have a ton of intramural sports many play but not a requirement.
