Maybe there are some in a jobless situation who might be talked into it. But I suspect if you asked a 1,000 former AF guys....999 would flatly turn it down. Even if you offered up a rank promotion and guaranteed stateside tour...there’s too much BS in woke stuff for me to sit patiently and not say anything.
When the military ditches the dei, PC agenda.
Sounds like they need some AMERICANS to help them do something with all the crap they are recruiting. The bass turds are recruiting people in Yemen to be U.S. Army recruiters. WTH is up with that?
As if I was seriously considering it. lol
Right on all accounts.
Too much BS for most veterans to put up with.
The ugly is deep in this story. Our kids won’t have jobs because of illegal aliens and will be forced to go into a Biden military to survive. George Bush fought his illegitimate wars that way!
Foreign national cops will be used to control citizens.
They couldn’t pay me enough to return. Of course, I’m in my early 60’s, so they don’t want me, but I wouldn’t have gone back the day after I retired almost 30 years ago.
Welcome back soldier. Now before we begin to get you back into physical shape, you need to know that some things have changed. Well, a lot of things to be honest with you.
For instance, just because a soldier looks like a male or female, that does not mean that they "really" are, but we have rules and guidelines on how you must handle this situation.

Won’t happen. The damage has already been done. Most people see this toxic work environment for what it is.
The Armed Forces chased off many people with their Covid mandates. I used to work with them and they were so mad they vowed never to return. So good luck, far as many are concerned, the Army and Air Force can go pound sand.
Just imagine the kinds of woke and diverse “superiors” that you would be serving under.
No thanks.
The Army and Air Force would be better off allowing former personnel to apply for something akin to 1099 Contractor. Unless you are rated Permanently Disabled, you can work and not be penalized. If rated Permanently and Totally Disabled and not at 100% , you can only earn a set amount per year like social security. It may not work for pilots, but for most rates/mos like medical, supply logistics and administrative it would work. Two year contracts followed by add ons.
Despite all the crowing by some RATS, the job market sucks. Had family member go through this. A couple weeks before unemployment compensation ran out they took an entry level position. It pays well enough but the relative was a former mid-level manager laid off from a tech firm. The vast majority of jobs will appeal to all the new RATS here illegally. So to claim white Christian males are avoiding military because of a robust job market is BS. The article does not even come close to addressing the noticeable decline in white legacy males and females enlisting.
There is no incentive to remain.
This brain dead, child sniffer cancelled retention bonuses.
Eff him and his entire military staff.
As an Army family, I don’t want my them serving this POS.
With the incredible woke, diversity and BS indoctrination and brain washing going on, there is no way in the world this USAF retiree would consider it—not for one second!
I’d hate to see what the New Army’s grocery bill is doing to their military budget. The new recruits sure can put away the groceries.
I would not want any family member to serve with the kind of far-left, radical lunacy and brain washing that serving in this clown show now requires.
And to think they will not allow those that refused the China shot to come back? Wow, just another reason I would never recommend anyone signing up or returning.
“Airman must be under age 58, of the enlisted grades of 5 through 8, who retired after 31 Jan 2017 to present, and
medically qualified for active duty.”
I’m 66, retired in 1998 as an E-8. Too old, and have a bunch of health issues. Too bad, I would actually consider it.
The smaller the standing army, the better.
