The Navy's tough recruiting year means that its recruiters will be working more days, and the service is considering longer tours of duty as it struggles to put more sailors into uniform.

A Navy spokesman confirmed that Rear Adm. Alexis Walker -- the head of recruiting command -- has ordered all recruiters to work a six-day workweek after Navy emails announcing the change began to surface on social media.

Lt. Cmdr. Rich Parker, a spokesman for the recruiting command, told Military.com in an email that the change will take effect on July 8 and "it is expected to affect staff from the top down."

I don’t get it. If the Dims are correct that half the population has turned gay, then surely it’s not hard to recruit men to be stuck on a ship for months at a time sharing showers with other men. /s

During obama the navy was kicking sailors out for really no good reason.....now there’s a shortage because real Americans don’t want to be forced to get a shot and accept woke ideology......if I didn’t know better, I’d say someone’s trying to weaken our military.......but that can’t be....can it???? 🤔

That would do more to attract LGBTQI+ recruits than a $50,000 enlistment bonus could ever do.

There is no 6-day work week for active military.
It’s 24/7.

Nobody in their right mind would volunteer to be a recruiter in this environment.

Cut the “rainbow” flags, stop giving free dick/tittiechopping operations, fire the non-binary brass, make the military great again, and you’ll have people breaking down the door to get into the recruiting office.

The Raging Queen....

Captain Ned: Is this how men act on a man’s ship? Where is your manliness? Fighting on deck is a serious breach on my articles of strict discipline! I’m afraid the guilty party is in for a very severe punishment!

Sailor #1: Captain.. I did indeed take Mr. Spunk’s spot. I’m ready to accept my punishment..

First Mate Spunk: Captain! I threw the first blow. If anyone is to be punished, let it be me. I ask only that whatever you do, please don’t put me in a tight-fitting Lassie costume and make me eat from a monogrammed dog dish.

Sailor #2: [ entering ] Captain, I encouraged this fight – punish me! Make me wear nipple-pinching clothespins, sir!

Sailor #3: [ entering ] Me, Captain! Punish me!

Captain Ned: Stop! I’ve heard enough! Your manly admission of guilt is most manful. However, as your Captain, it is I who must bear the full masculine responsibility! And therefore, I will be punished. Spunk! Take me alone! I want a boiling oil rub..

No a serious question. Do most of them have their 20 years in and can retire quickly?

Are recruiters’ warriors and patriots as a group?

Recruiters can work 7 days a week, doesn’t matter if no one is showing up to enlist.
