Military recruiting holding it's own

@ 11:49 AM (45 months, 29 days ago)

From QuandO

 
January's recruiting numbers:

Service Recruited Goal Percentage
Army 8,337 8,100 103
Navy 2,726 2,694 101
USMC 3,234 3,044 106
USAF 2,915 2,898 101


Interestingly, the Army National Guard was at 113% and both the USMC reserve and the AF reserve were at 100%. The Army reserve came in at 96% with the Air Guard and Navy reserve both lowest at 90% and 88% respectively. And, as usual, within the active military: "All services are projected to meet their retention goals for the current fiscal year."

  2. No but the stories about how young men liked Casey Sheehan were "duped" into enlisting are rampant. (False though they are!)

  3. I think in some ways this is their backhanded way of perpetuating the myth that those who serve in the military are stupid. Obviously you can't read that contract the recruiter gave you, you are a victim...blah blah blah

  21. I had to open up a can on him. I don't know where he came from but we went from praying for Jill Carroll to YOU NEO CONS...blah blah blah F****....and he said that we weren't intellectual. I about fell out of my seat. My side still hurts.

    Comment by elmers brother— 2006/02/12 @ 05:17 PM — (Reply)

  22. Yeah - I saw it. What a moron. I hate it when people trash talk without even presenting an argument. How juvenile is that?!

    And when someone starts out with "You Neocons..." I pretty much just quit reading because it means they aren't smart enough to disect my argument and converse with me they are just into name calling like a bratty 15 year old girl being sent to her room. All stomping and swearing and nothing productive. They are just sad, immature people!

  23. It's fun kicking 'em to the curb though.

    Comment by elmers brother— 2006/02/12 @ 05:41 PM — (Reply)

  24. Yeah - I can hear Toby Keith singing "Who's your daddy?" every time I have to lay down the logic.

  25. I prefer the Glenn Beck spoof of who let the dogs out...
    It goes who's in the White House... Bush, Bush, Bush!:lol::mrgreen:

    Eb, I heard music on your site too, last night. I didn't have any media or other windows open.:???: Don't hear it now, though.

  26. C-mom they usually say you hear voices when you start to crack not music...wonder if you should read more of this to put you over the edge?
