An Associated Press article (27 December 1999,Salt Lake Tribune) reported that Utah ranks last among all states in the proportion of young men and women signing up for military services (according to military figures). The military recruiters attribute this partially to the state's healthy economy and high proportion of young people attending college, but primarily to the choice of Utahns to serve as missionaries for the Church. The age group that the military prefers to recruit from is "also the prime age group for Mormon men to go away on church missions. And in a state that is predominately Mormon, most young men turn to the church and away from recruiters." On the other hand, Utah ranks fourth highest among all states in the proportion of "high-quality" enlistees. Only Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota recruits outscored Utah. link

Here are some hard stats of religious affiliation in the Air Force. Officers, Enlisted

I've spent about 90 minutes trying to track down religious denomination statistics for the military. There just isn't much to be found. Lots of search engine hits, but not much substance.

****So, the King James Version of the Holy Bible isn't good enough for you? You're not interested at all in
another testament of Jesus Christ and his ministry on earth? Hmmm...***

Which other testament are you talking about? The AQUARIAN GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST or the Gnostic Gospels of Jesus Christ? The gospel of Jesus Christ according to Sung Myun Moon? The "lost 29th chapter of ACTS?

Galatians chapter 1:6-9 warns us about accepting another man given or angel given gospel that is different from what they had received from the origional Apostles.

Since the Bible has true doctrine we have no need of "another gospel" or testament.
