Anyone listening to Paul. Says gun sales are going threw the roof today and there are lines all across the country to sign up for Military duty.
"After a war's worth of Americans died yesterday morning, numerous Richmond area residents made unscheduled stops at their local firearms stores to stock up on ammunition."
Bible, bullets and beer.
Count me in. I've already made inquiries into a possible commission and return to duty. I may be sleeping on the couch for a while as a result - the wife was not happy - she understands my perspective, that "if not me, then who defends this country?"...but she is understandably selfish...
Anyways, his 1SG and CO called him here at home and told him to get someone in, what they call a Grad Alpha...someone with a high school diploma and scores above a 50, I believe, on the ASVAB by the 24th of this month for active duty not reserves. The 1SG was also questioning him about him having any prospects or leads. Thought that was unusual after he was told not to worry about getting anyone in this month. Who knows the Army could just be taking advantage of this incident to meet enlistment goals, which the Army has claimed to already have met.
If what Paul Harvey is saying is true, hopefully dear husband won't have a problem getting someone to enlist this month.
