Recruitment for the U.S. Army hit a 15-year high in December, U.S. Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced.
Hegseth’s announcement stems from data released by the U.S. Army Recruitment Command on Tuesday, which reports that 346 soldiers enlisted daily in the Army throughout the month of December – approximately 10,726 soldiers – marking the highest recruitment of Army soldiers within a December in 15 years.
It's what happens when you have a Commander in Chief that cares.
ReplyDeleteDang. With this sudden surge it looks like my plans to reenlist after 64 years might be in jeopardy.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know there were that many poor people not on drugs.
ReplyDeleteAre they giving out signing bonuses like the $9K one I got in 1999 when Combat Engineer jobs were more plentiful than forester jobs?
Of course, once the units went from half-strength when I got there to full strength, some airliners apparently flew into building-filled clouds and having a big army came in handy, especially for the Guys in Suits that had an airfield in Uzbekistan ready for the 10th Mountain after 6 months of prep.
Doubt all these troopies are going to sit on the border...
Best I've heard, they've lowered their requirements or limitations.
ReplyDeleteYou must have missed the pics of soy boy, DEI & grrrl warriors marching and chanting.
Gotta get more bodies signed up to go fight for "Our Greatest Ally" in the upcoming Middle East meatgrinder.
Don't sign up, kids "It's A Trap!"
Every. Single. Time.
DeleteUnder Biden they may have lowered standards, but more recruits means you can start raising them again.
ReplyDeleteThe young people in this once-great nation are not stupid. They did not want to serve the moral less, DEI-filled military while Gen. Milley was in charge. With Donald Trump in charge and with some real red blooded American leadership, now they do want to serve and help "Make America Great Again."
ReplyDeleteForeign entanglements won’t Make America Great Again
