well there is always the joke that instruction manuals are written to be army proof. Which means lots of pictures and real small words. Just think of it as in high school, some people were excellent in math and science but lacked in English and vice versa. Those exact people are in the military, not that they are illiterate its just they excel in other areas.

On average the reading skills for soldiers are higher that those of civilians. In fact - one of the strongest arguments against a military draft is the number of years it would take to re-write all of the Army's manuals to suit lower level reading skills.

Your question is a bit vague...
Reading is a requirement to enter service. If you cannot read, you cannot function properly as a Soldier...
Edit -
Leogirl, you are almost there. Manuals above the operator level are written at the 10th grade level. Manuals at operator level and below are written at several levels from pictures to step by step instructions. Allows for a clear picture on what needs to happen.

Actually the majority of people that make up the military are from middle class and upper middle class families. So illiteracy is not an issue. I've read somewhere that they write tech manuals and such to the 9th grade level though. Whether that is true or not I can't say.

after 9/11 bush made that deal and has saved to it, i think of its sturdy because via doing it this sort, the administrative. cant say we didnt have components to do history exams on them, and fingerprints are carried out. and if that they had lied on settlement with the armed forces thats punishable via stockade time, so yeah thats a sturdy element. a minimum of they're doing there time in the provider till now starting to be to be a citizen. im ex military and that i've got not any difficulty with it. yet words can final from 2-6 years, so they could get 2 12 months words for faster citizenship. bush sworn some in this previous 12 months. in the event that they are in a position to combat for this us of a, i think of they need to be voters. ucmj handbook is tougher than what civies could stay via, in case you get caught on backside and wifey on suitable, thats sodomy, thats dishonorable discharge(definite this is in the favourite code of armed forces justice). so yeah armed forces regulation is lots greater strict, and somewhat uncomplicated to come again up with a clarification for dishonorable discharge.

You should learn to become literate yourself before questioning anyone else on their reading level.

Most definitely.
It's apparent, you could stand a few lessons in spelling.

If you can't read, you can't serve. Plain and simple.
