73 %.

 This is coolbert:

Hardly confined to North Dakota. This is A NATION WIDE PROBLEM AND MUST BE UNDERSTOOD AS BEING SO.

"New Report Shows 73% of North Dakotan's Can't Join The Military"

"It is a shocking number; 73% of young North Dakotan's can not join the military, because they are too fat, too dumb or either a criminal or drug user."

"A new report out by Mission Readiness called 'Retreat is Not an Option for North Dakota' says high numbers like this are happen in the state and across the country. The study says there are three reasons why young people can't join in the military, obesity, not enough education or they have criminal record or use drugs"

In the proverbial nutshell:

* Overweight.
* Lack of education.
* Criminal record, drug use.

North Dakota a small percentage of the whole but demonstrably a representative of the whole!

FROM SIXTY YEARS AGO THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONING AND OVERALL HEALTH OF AMERICAN YOUTH QUESTIONED. NOW THE PROBLEM RECOGNIZED AS WORSE THAN EVER.

THAT SINGLE BEST INDICATOR OF PHYSICAL APTITUDE, OVERALL HEALTH AND FITNESS THE STANDING LONG JUMP. STRONG LEGS, STRONG BODY, STRONG HEALTH!

North Dakota HOW FAR CAN YOU JUMP!!
