Hang on. These guys are already being paid, right?
Where did the $53,000 go? An ad agency?
My favourite recruiting campaign for the Royal Australian Navy.
You'll be wet, you'll be homesick, and frightened...
What a jingle!

From the Navy website... FY09 Goals
Active duty enlisted - 35,500
Attained - 35,527 (100.1%)
Reserve enlisted - 7,743
Attained - 7,793 (100.6%)
Active duty officer - 2,202
Reserve officer - 1,198
Total Force Navy goal = 46,819
So, they are at (and have been at) 100%
As far as the add, well, I prefer seeing ships, boats, and airplanes (but that's the Navy Dad in me, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.)

When women come in the men leave - a truth that has existed since time began.
Remember in the early 90's before women were on combat ships and they had to throw men out of the Navy?

The money was wasted. That’s no battleship, battleships have gun turrets. I’d say that’s an oil tanker.
I’ve seen the Australian Navy in action, and its sailors are some of the best barroom fighters in the world.
