The statistics reflect solid recruiting performance during a month that Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman noted is traditionally a slow recruiting period. |

expected. Spoke with a recruiter just a couple weeks ago. He said it is up across the board due to the fact there are no jobs out there.

Yes, a bad economy will drive up military recruiting and retention while a good economy will drive down recruiting and retention, no matter who is CIC.
