Navy May Use Wii Fit to Train Gamer Recruits

[citation][nom]gm0n3y[/nom]Doesn't the military have minimum fitness requirements to join? I know in Canada they have pushups / situp / running requirements.[/citation]

That's what training is for. You just have to be within an age bracket and have graduated high school. Boot camp/training gets everyone in shape and if they don't like it they drop out.

And lets not get started on Canada's army.. ^^

I think it would be cheaper to just tell people they can't join if they don't meet the requirements. Then again I guess the US military needs all the members it can get. Also, I didn't know that you could just 'drop out' of the military if you wanted to. That's gotta be the cheapest weight loss program ever, just sign up and then quit once you're in shape. They even pay you while you're there.

They aren't going to make you do something you can't/don't want to do. Its only the dedicated that survive. Its a self filtering system.
