Military recruitment lags despite reduced targets, record incentives to boost interest
Fox News ^ | June 6, 2022 | Peter Aitken

The military touts a "recruit’s market" that should attract fresh blood into its ranks as each branch faces recruiting shortfalls following the coronavirus pandemic.

"In real estate, you talk about buyer's and seller's markets," Maj. Gen. Edward W. Thomas Jr., commander of the Air Force Recruiting Service, told Fox News Digital. "You know, this is a recruiting market right now. There are good opportunities to serve and good incentives to do so."

I wouldn’t advise it for any young man or woman given the state of this government and country, frankly.

No one in their right minds will join Dementia Joe’s very woke, deranged, pathetic military.
Let him put his grand children in it.

I was in the Army from 1978-1995. Loved every minute of it. You couldn’t get me to join today for love or money.

Not sure if this is true, but back when I joined, we had a number of foreign gals in our training Platoon. If they completed Basic and AIT, the got their citizenship.

If this is still true, they should be actively recruiting the ‘best and brightest’ that Biden is shipping in by the truckload, so what’s the fuss?

Maybe they can sign up all those illegals Biden is letting in, making military service mandatory in order to achieve citizenship. But I doubt many illegals would take that offer, and why should they, the Dems are giving out everything for free with no strings attached.

I've been doing that for at least ten years. It's crazy, I loved my time in the Army (8 years active duty). Way back then, in the early 80s, I could see much of the fun parts going away.

I have two sons, and a dozen nephews in their 20s, I've been forthright on my views about the military. When pressed, I say enlist in the Air Force if you have to. It's the closest thing to civilian life you can get.

I speak from experience, I was stationed on AF bases during my tour in Germany, 77-81.

Why join the military when you know your life will be wasted for nothing?

Sure, lots of young men want sign up for endless, meaningless wars where the people you are going into combat with are woke, homo, tyrannies and the government will force you to take experimental injections.

Go woke and get no one to volunteer. I have always said once we go full on tyranny they will have to start up the draft again.

I would not enlist in a Woke Military. United States is a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. Not worth defending.

I live in a town where every year a dozen or more kids enlist right after high school. This year only 2 did. Dads are telling their kids don’t enlist until Biden is out. I guess they’re paying attention.

I guess having the government pay for transition surgery is one of the more popular incentives they are offering these days.

Nothing like joining an military organization with absolute power over you that hates you and wants to hurt you.

What Is the Stop Loss Program in the Military

Stop loss meaning:

Stop loss is an involuntary extension for current active-duty service members. When stop loss is in place, the service member’s original ETS or estimated time in service is extended. In other words, if you are given a stop loss order, you will have to stay in service for a longer time than you originally committed to. Your separate or retirement date would be suspended and you will be given a new date.
