I feel for the recruiters. I did extremely well and hated life.

Once again, it’s the millenials job to save the world. We’ve rebuilt the economy after like 5 crashes, we saved y’all from Covid, now we’re gonna save Ukraine and stop world war with Russia

US military's version of "Go Woke.....Go Broke"


i cant imagine why branding portion of your recruiting base as "white nationalists and a domestic terroristic threat" or by pushing trans agenda and diversity would hurt recruitment.......

How perplexing

It's the equivalent of KFC marketing itself exclusively to vegans while telling chicken eaters how barbaric they are, and then calling the resulting sales decline a total mystery

A big problem is MHS Genesis. When I was a recruiter I’d screen and I could “hide” some past medical information. I never hid anything crazy like adhd, mental issues, etc. but a kid going to a counselor for parent’s divorce is technically psych. This new system can pull all kids medical records automatically disqualifying them for MEPS. So back then I just wouldn’t include it. Now they do and there really is a small percent of actual qualified applicants.

Yeah, I’m fine with criticizing the civilian and senior military leadership.

What I don’t get is the glee with which so many posters run down those who are actually stepping up to serve now.

Those of us with kids going into the military today could do without being told they are part of the problem.

When you chase off the people who are traditionally serving for being too white / conservative / straight and can’t get the Alphabet Brigade to fill the spots, then they have made this mess and need to lay in it.

Well, they have enough troops. Saw a commercial at a pool hall with all kinds of troops from all over the place and they were all good friends.

Strongest military ever!

Good. The next serious war our military fights is going to be against freedom loving Americans.

Let’s see how well they do without straight white males.

Should be a shite ton of non-conforming nonbinary gay servicepersons eager to serve? Based on all the representation i see. The pentagon just needs to learn how to reach them.
