Here's a story on how more women are joining the military, in part bc young men are having a harder time meeting the standards.

www.military.com/daily-news/2...
In 2022, the Army started the Future Soldier Preparatory Course, a pre-basic training camp that takes otherwise ineligible applicants and gets them up to snuff for service -- either to meet academic or body fat standards. The lion's share are recruits who came up short on the entrance test, and roughly 70% are men, according to internal Army data. Studies have shown a troubling trend in U.S. education: Boys are falling behind girls in nearly every academic category, including reading and writing. That achievement gap starts in elementary school and often widens over time. By high school, boys are less likely to graduate on time compared to their female peers, and the differences are even more pronounced among male minorities.
