I am trying to start a recruiting campaign to help out our military with their current recruiting shortage. One of my buddies is working as a recruiter right now and he told me about all the problems he is facing. I figured FR would be the best place to come to put something like this together because of the political leanings and the willingness to stand up and fight against terrorism. I've been here before and mostly perused the site without joining but i thought this was important enough to join. Basically what i am trying to do is start a grassroots campaign of teachers, football coaches, parents, etc. of the conservative mindset that would be willing to try and recruit one person each to serve in the military. They recently raised the age to 38 for the reserves so even some us old timers might have a go at it.
If you can help please feel free to e-mail me or post any ideas about getting something like this started.
where is everybody?
LOL!
Yeah, it has the odor of a 4 day old, sun-baked mackeral!
Funny how the MSM gets it wrong. The Marine Corps reenlistment numbers are so high, that the Commandant AGAIN had to request to the Congcritters that the qouta get tweaked to allow them all to reup! Not to mention that this trend has been going on EVER SINCE Klintoon left office!
I've been around long enough to know the mods are watching you very closely at this point. I want to know more from you. What are your thoughts on conscription? Have you served?
Not "where is everybody?"
Where is bohdi777?
I agree with you too. Many of us are too old. If I were 25 years younger, I'd be in Iraq or Afghanistan now.
Didn't we zot you yesterday, assclown?
Well, there was a little event we call 9-11 between Clintoon and W, so it's hard to compare anything between the two, except to say that the Clintons helped bring on the attack.
As for the CinC influencing who enlists and when, I don't know? I enlisted during the JFK years and one of my sons enlisted late in the W41 years. I don't believe their politics influenced either of us. It was relatively peaceful in 61 and 92, put for those enlisting in the late 60s or after 9-11 - the world changed a bit.
Oh that's a GOOD Kitty!
Loks just like my daughter's cat.
He gets the same look on his face when I let him drive my car.
Where are YOU?
Let's talk.
Your first post on FR at 5:47 and your last at 6:36.
People are talking!!!!
Did you name him Toonces?
We are a military family and I can tell you that I know plenty of former military that just would not serve under Clinton.
Oh!
I get it!
Parents, teachers, coaches!
Hopefully so we would Darwinize ourselves!
Cute!
