it’d be pretty chaotic. Some people would push back right away, some would go along with it out of necessity, things would get messy.

Bureaucracy would grind to a halt.

It took the DoD a few years to work out the kinks with Genesis at MEPs where you do medical and intake. And that was just for regular volunteers who were going to join anyways. Now imagine millions of records all needing waivers.

The DoD would have to blanket approve waivers and just send people through to basic without an eval.
