Something You Won’t See in the News
Does anyone think this news will make any national headlines?:
Army recruiters hit their enlistment targets for the seventh straight month, while the active Navy, Marine, and Air Force all hit their recruiting goals, too, according to figures released Wednesday by the Pentagon.
Army recruiters signed 5,684 recruits in May, compared with their goal of 5,400, a 105 percent success rate for the month.
Seven months into fiscal 2006, the Army has now recruited 37,053 of its goal of 80,000. Recruiters will need to average more than 10,737 recruits each month between now and September. Last July, August, and September 2005, recruiters brought in well over 8,000 new soldiers each month.
The military once again has met their recruiting goals. Does everyone remember just over a year ago when the military wasn’t making their recruiting numbers it was highly publicized as being a reflection of the War on Terror being a failure. Now since the military continues to recruit strongly does that mean the War on Terror is now a success?
