During a recession with youth unemployment between 20-50%? How’d they pull that off?
So what does this mean? That they won’t be accepting new recruits any time soon?
I read a story here tonight about some DREAM Act candidate not being allowed to join the Marines because those wascally Wepublicans wouldn’t pass the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act activists held a press conference and made it sound as though the Marines were doomed because this guy was the “perfect” Marine and was being deported instead of recruited. What’s going on?
No wonder,people need jobs.
One who has worked at USAREC for 4 years..everyone can be assured if they are making mission..they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
This is not saying all the recruits are low quality..just the ones to make mission. How many waivers were issued..how many “home of record” were changed..to avoid a police check. If the recruit lives in Chicago and may have a “record”..grandma lives in Mobile..the grandma address is used. No record found. Add affirmative action..to the mix.
You have a professional cadre..with some..others less desirable. But what the heck..its the new obama army and it is going to get worse.
They are going to permit females in the infantry, armor and special ops.
Have one question..where is the female soldier going to pee from a tank when it cannot be dismounted. This I want to see.
With the economy in the shitter, the military is a guaranteed job for most anyone with a pulse. You can even be a guy that professes to love sphincters and still get hired!
Don’t ask, Don’t Tell does not seem to be a problem for recruiting. /sarc.
Why bother, 0 is gutting the Military.
