Military Meets, Exceeds Recruiting Goals
No matter what garbage you her from the media about Iraq, the military morale is high and the U.S. military believes what they are fighting for. There are record number of recruits joining and the re-enlistment rate is higher in Iraq than it is here in Hawaii!
Though Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the war in Iraq, the Pentagon said Tuesday it is having success enlisting new troops. The Navy and Air Force met their recruiting goals last month while the Army and Marine Corps exceeded theirs, the Defense Department announced.
The Army, which is bearing the brunt of the work in Iraq, did the best. It signed up 6,485 new recruits in November compared with its target of 6,150 - meaning 105 percent of its goal.
All the services turned in similar performances in October as well, meaning they so far are meeting their goals for the 2007 budget year that began Oct. 1.

Hey Mike how is the force shaping affecting people where you're at? They cut quite a few officers here.

I am looking at the VSP. If I qualify I will get the 13 year VSP, which is a lot of money. Right now it is just for officers 6-12 years and I have been in 13. I hear the rule may change VERY soon because the Air Force Times reported from AFPC that they are well short of their goals. I will let you know!

Rumor has it that they're going after enlisted next year but I'm supposedly safe according the Enlisted Security Forces Manager. He came to Warren last month for our Top-4 banquet. Lucky me the cops can't go anywhere...lol
