Military recruitment lags despite reduced targets, record incentives to boost interest

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."

How would that work? Wouldn’t the trannies be 4F? Being nuts and all? I’d hope they record the interviews for posterity.

The kids today don’t have an incentive to get a decent job because the gov gives them everything. Use to be the military pushed the GI Bill and talked up education as a recruiting incentive. Today the Gov will pay off your 100k bank loan for a degree in gender studies. Then gov pays them unemployment. The gov is working against itself in many cases.

Hi.

“we had a number of foreign gals in our training Platoon. If they completed Basic and AIT, the got their citizenship.”

True, but they had to be active duty for 180 days.

Another draw to the military use to be the 20 year, no contribution, retirement. Congress did away with that a couple of years ago.

The gov has abolished any and all inducements to join the military.

It might be good for one term to qualify for vets benefits but that’s about all it’s good for as a job.

I did 23 years and I can tell you that I’m happy with my retirement, and the VA Home loan and other vet bennies.

Signing up with crazy Uncle Joe in charge?
Think about it first. Remember how he left Americans behind in Afghanistan, then just washed his hands of all implied duty or obligation.Some will sign up anyway, because it’s a guaranteed income for a while, with health insurance coming after that.

I was honored to have served in the US Army. I trained and fought wih a great bunch of soldiers whom I love as brothers. But I would never have enlisted in the “woke” military we now have.

Has the oath changed since ‘67? Surely it must have been altered to address all the diversity and inclusiveness now required. I sure wouldn’t serve today.

I am advising younger relatives to stay far away from today’s military.

With Obama’s generals running the defense of our country, there is no chance I would recommend that a young person join the military. Join and the first thing they will do is pump you up with the Fauci/Wuhan death shots.

One of the incentives is you get to hot rack with your tranny shipmates.

Only queers and steers come from Texas.

Only queers and freaks would join this military.

It is a spit hole.

Contrary to Jao Bai-din's lies that 97% of the military received the Jim Jones Jab, they now admit that fewer than 70% got it which means it is likely even fewer than that.

It's no surprise the military can't recruit talent in the numbers they want.

"Considering one has to take an oath to Woke, not surprised white, Christian men are not signing up. "

Men know who they are and what they do in the military. They sure don't want to participate in a barracks San Francisco bath house environment.

I would NOT serve under this president. Did everyone see what happened in Afghanistan? He cares less about the little people serving in the military. I hope they remember that when they are ordered to move against the citizens.
