Without warning, hundreds of noncommissioned officers were ordered via email to report to the recruiting school at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in less than a week, with hundreds more set to start at the school in December -- a sudden unexpected move by the Army as the service scrambles to boost its recruiting force by 800 by the end of the year.
The orders came after a breakdown in how the Army tracks how many recruiters it has coming through the pipeline along with retention of existing ones, according to Lt. Gen. Douglas Stitt, the Army's top personnel officer. The sudden depletion of recruiters caught Army planners flat-footed, with officials unable to provide a clear explanation as to what went wrong. Now, NCOs will likely have to move during the holiday season and in the middle of the school year, sowing chaos for families.
"Given the six-day heads up, we have zero time to plan child care," one noncommissioned officer told Military.com on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. "We can barely find and afford child care during the week as it is, so now my wife may end up having to quit her job entirely because it is impossible to find on the weekend."
The Army has roughly 10,000 recruiters, but that force has been bleeding troops over the past year. The 800 emergency recruiting students will allow the service to maintain its numbers. Recruiters have reported to Military.com in recent months of working longer hours and, in some cases, getting fired for missing quotas.

Possibly.
Maybe.
Well ... if I were China ... I’d make my move right about now ... I’m just sayin’ ...
They need more trannies — NOW!
They want a draft so they can send all young, legacy US citizen, straight, white males to their deaths.
Well, they are in the Army. When they receive an order, they have to obey it.
I guess they were caught by surprise. I am glad it wasn’t hamas.
What? You mean there aren’t enough transsexuals enlisting?
I’ve always been in favor of press gangs myself...
The Draft is coming.
So why isn’t someone out there saying the democrats want to bring back the draft?
“Reagan wants to send your sons and daughters to fight in Nicaragua”. The man who said it was pretty important.
Recruiting has always been considered a cush posting. I don’t think there are a lot of complainers.
Uh, no. You will never see a military draft in the U.S. in your lifetime.
As a STEM geek, we used to express disdain in units of “milli-givash*ts”, where milli denoted one one-thousandth.
Our military folks will soon be expressing their disdain for our woke and totally malfunctioning military in “Milley givash*ts”. Great job of leading there, fat boy.
Naaah. There's still a lot of democrat-woke debt-induced social and economic destruction to come.
China wants to be able to walk into Taiwan or Guam without a shot being fired.
Looks like the draft is coming back, which means Obama has decided to go to war
We have not won a single war in my lifetime.
It’s as if they have no intention of winning, just spending our blood and treasure so they can skim their 10%.
Never again.
I think our enemies decided to go to war due to Obama/Biden's inept governance.
