When the Military became an all volunteer force....the standards of enlistment continually became higher and higher as the ranks and retention were maintained. It reached the point that...in at least one case...a person I knew that had a Bachelor Degree was denied enlistment in the Airforce because they had to many speeding tickets. If I remember correctly they had three tickets.
BTW the Marine Corp was the last branch to bring their enlistment standards up to the level of the other branches of the Military. It used to be said of the Corp..."they will take anybody"...but that was never the real truth...but their standards of enlistment usually were lower than the other branches.
