    Why should a 25 year-old able bodied Ghanaian be denied the opportunity to serve in the Armed Forces simply because he is married. Some of these rules just don't make any rational sense. Revise the rules now!!!!!!

  • Youli 7 years ago

    Sue them for your rights. These requirements are out of place. Married should not be an obstacle to any job.It is an outdated law.

  • Odikro 7 years ago

    This is even against the Butchers'constitution. No one should be denied the opportunity to to pursue his/her potential career because of marital status.

    Why are they selling the forms if it's online application now? Can't we for once do things as the white people do?

  • Charles Higgins 7 years ago

    Who are the "whites"?

    This is a very stupid requirement. Can they marry when they become soldiers? Can they have children? Can they have girl/boyfriends? Can their parents be alive?

  • New York Wiseboy 7 years ago
