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."

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?

Ah...but I think that’s what they WANT to have happen. A military so full of non-citizen ‘soldiers’ who will open fire on American citizens when ordered to do so.
This is probably going to trigger some people but this general needs to see some Russian recruitment promos to get a clue. Or maybe just repeat the last successful one the US did. Anything but woke shyt.
Who would want to use rainbow bullets in their battle rifles?….c’mon man…
The chairman of the joint chiefs thinks you're the greatest threat to the country and he's trying to understand your rage. Promotions are stacked against you, the standards have been lowered for everyone else, women can join the infantry and special forces - and you'll have to carry the extra weight and pick up the slack, for the same pay.
The military doesn't want you. Besides, there are so many others with "pride" to serve in the new Marine Corps, Emma is in the army fighting for us, and her two moms, and the USS harvey milk shows us the navy is a global force for gay.
Recruiting and retention are off?
Say it ain't so.
Liberals own the government and cultural institutions lock stock and barrel.
Yet they expect conservative kids to join the military and fight for them.
Just another version of going galt.
Nobody wants their stupid COVID vax.
I don't know if that stat is true, but what I did notice is that he didn't say anything about all the people in this age group who would fail the drug test in the age of legalized heroin.
I served back in the day, and my son really wanted to join the Marines but I wouldn't let him. None of my sons will be cannon fodder for Democrats. Get all the LGBQT to serve.
Like everything else Democrats turned woke, it went right down the flusher. I can see no circumstance, outside of the draft, that the US Military will ever again meet its quota or readiness goals.
Well, unless you’re a homosexual or interested in a transgender, why would you join today’s military?
notice is that he didn’t say anything about all the people in this age group who would fail the drug test in the age of legalized heroin.

that is under medical issues or mental health issues
Do away with the gay and tranny nonsense and the woke bs and more normal people might enlist.
The Draft is coming. The Left consider the military the biggest social program of all.
The DEMS want to reinstall the draft.
Who wants to sign up to be used against the American citizens?
Maybe your own family.
Also the fact that you need to take the Covid vaccines and boosters to join or remain in.
The GI Bill cover less and less. There's an inordinate amount of money left untouched, even after they opened it up to military dependents, because it covers a narrow range of degree programs. Even if the GI Bill is allowed for programs, it's limited in how much it will cover.
Good point. Sad, but possible true. :(
I served twice, honorably discharged both times. No way I'd sign the papers for either of my sons to enlist given the 'wokeness' of the modern day military. I used to encourage people to look T the military as a means for education, opportunity, and grow as a person. That stopped when Obama took office.
Yes the original Montgomery GI Bill sucked, but the new GI Bill aka the Post 911 GI Bill is extremely generous. I feel that it’s overly generous, but who am I to say. I used tuition assistance for both of my degrees and now I’m giving my Post 911 GI Bill to my kids. My daughter just graduated with a bachelors and my son is going to UNLV in the fall. It covers tuition, rent, and books and some food. It’s amazing.
I'm glad it's working out for you. I used a fraction of it due to the restrictions and have several friends who did the same.
Sorry men want to serve with fighters not wokers.
