Four U.S. Military Branches Must Attract More Than 180,000 New Service Members Annually. Marijuana Use -- Military Recruits.

A new goal has been set for the four U.S. Military Branches. The Military Branches, which were facing a recruitment shortage only years ago, is now facing record enlistment levels and is now able to select from the cream of the crop. Each branch must now attract more than 180,000 new service members annually, but even with the higher numbers, the Military Branches are are tightening restrictions. One possible violation? Marijuana Use by Military Recruits will prevent enlistment. For those not familiar, most Military Branches enact heavy restrictions on enlistment and thorough testing and background checks are often done on potential applicants to ensure they are eligible, willing, and able to serve their country.
