The Department of Defense announced today its recruiting and retention statistics by the active and reserve components for the month of June.
Active duty recruiting. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force met or exceeded their recruiting goals in June.

June's recruiting picture is out for DOD and it's good.
Especially given the LOW unemployment rates.
Funny how the media stopped reporting the 'story' about the Armed Forces not meeting recruiting goals once they met recruiting goals. Of course the MSM's objective was not concern over recruiting as a story. The media used the story as another propaganda piece of the Left with a subtext of 'the war is so unpopular no one will join!'.
They also failed to mention, when speaking of recruiting goals, that they've raised their goals to facilitate a larger force.
Thanks for the ping!
Or that retention in all the reserve forces has improved. Nor that the ArNG, while still not meeting it's recruiting goals, has improved considerably in terms of the fraction of the goal it has achieved.
Bastards.
