Females with multiple piercings, tattoos denied joining Ghana Army The dreams of some energetic and passionate
females to join the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and
serve the nation, have been crushed.
The high-spirited females who wanted to serve in
the army were sacked for having multiple ear
piercings, which did not form part of the
standards of the GAF.
Thousands of aspiring soldiers are currently
undergoing the selection process to possibly meet
the standards of the Ghana Army. The number will
be pruned as the process continues.
One of the females (name withheld), told
Globalnewsreel.com she was dismissed outrightly by
the recruiting officers last Thursday, October 23,
2014 at the El Wak stadium in Accra.
According to her, she had gone through all the
necessary documentation and body selection process
successfully, after which all the candidates were
directed to report at the recruitment centre [El
Wak] that Thursday.
When they reported at the centre Thursday morning,
she noted her name was not on the list of the
candidates selected to sit for the aptitude test.
She and about five others were disqualified for
the multiple ear piercings they have on both ears.
“I was very shocked and hurt and wept bitterly
when I heard the news,” she said. Source - MyjoyOnline
