The bad economy is also not hurting enlistment rate.

Nope, the military will be fine. Try to find a job right now.

NOT to be reported by the Main Stream Media . . . unless they figure out a negative story line, like the Economy is tanking . . .wait, they used that already when the Economy was good and one quarter of recruiting was off 3%.

Someone may remember, or we can attribute this to Obama and the “Desire to Surge” for BHO.

Based on upcoming trends in economics, I expect recruiting to be high in 2009. However, in 2010, it will fall when Obama begins the cuts to military programs and cutting soldiers (per Congressman Barney Frank)...

Media is silent. We only hear when the military has not reached it’s goals, like we are supposed to be happy about it.

The military does very well in a recession. The retention rates will remain high for as long as this lasts.

The 860 figure for the Army seems to me to be low.
