Miss Adwoa, Never take this as discriminating. The soldier must always be neutral in all things, and ppl hv reason and particular reason for the tatoos on their body. You might not hv an idea abt this but it is.
During excercises, soldiers are expected to be in their military boots for as long as 30 days which can a flat footed person. Even standing on parades like Indepence Square and other related parades demands a long standing on ones feet for several hours, and flat footed persons can not endure that. Now lets look at a female with heavy breat or heavy butt or both. Who fast can she run or move herself in times of running. Am quoting from experience as an ex service man.

It is a shame that the army finds big-breasted and big buttocks women not eligible for enlistment. What is even appalling is the disqualification of those with tattoos and flat feet. Just because a woman has big breasts does not mean we she cannot run or engage in physical activities required of army recruits. The army should allow the those women to go through the initial stages and disqualify those not meeting the physical requirement standards. To avoid and slew of gender discrimination suits, the army should re-visit its eligibility standards on big breasts and buttocks.

Stepping out of the shower, a woman stands in front of the mirror in Butumajabo, complaining to her husband that her breasts are too small. Instead of simply telling her it's not so, the husband jokingly comes up with a suggestion: "If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between your breasts for a few seconds." Willing to try anything, the wife fetches a piece of toilet paper and stands in front of the mirror, rubbing it between her breasts. "How long will this take?" she asks. "They'll grow larger over a period of years," he replies. The wife stops. "Why do you think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts grow over the years?" Without missing a beat the husband says, "Worked for your butt; didn't it?"

This is a colonial remnant. It has even stopped in the British Armed Forces. It is sexist, discriminatory, absurd and pointless. It should be removed from the regulations book of the Ghana Armed Forces. Suitable bra could be used to hold in boobs. Good exercise can reduce big bums. And why can't they provide relevant suitable shoes for flat-footed soldiers? Must they discriminate so blatantly against large women and the disabled? When they shoot their guns in battle would they not kill, or be killed in reverse? What utter backward regulations they are. Remove all such laws in both public and private sectors!

YES! THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE. SERVICES UNIT ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUST RECRUIT PERSONS. LOOK AT THE POLICE FORCE AND THE PERSONNEL? IT IS SAD TO SEE OBESE POLICEWOMEN EVEN BEFORE THEY GIVE BIRTH TO THEIR FIRST CHILDREN. HOW? A POLICE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO EFFECT ARREST OBESE, NOT ONLY THAT, THEIR BUTTOCKS, THEIR BREASTS ARE NOT POLICE MATERIAL. CAN THE POLICE FORCE BE SERIOUS.

journalists must be mindful of what they post out to general public about the military. There is a reason for every process in the military which makes it extraordinary. Body selection is very paramount and has its own parameters which shall be followed through. I shall urge some of the low level journalists to do due diligent work before coming out with their reportage. Some journalists have set higher standards whereas some hold pen n paper and write trash. Big up to the nice once who feeds us with better stuff
