For whom the bell tolls...
Either that, or the economy is getting better.

From an editorial in the Washington Post: "Predictably, it is getting harder and harder for the Army and Marines to recruit young men and women willing to bear such hardships. The Marines missed their recruiting goal in January for the first time in a decade, and all of the reserve corps except the Marines missed their recruiting goals in the first quarter of this fiscal year. The National Guard signed up barely half of the recruits it aimed for in January." You think maybe our "brightest and best" have gotten smarter? |

The Air Force and Navy have so far exceeded their quotas that there's talk of turning people away. |

But I was awarded so many metals they had to hire a separate 747 to deliver my metals home, brought a tear to my eye it did, yup the little darling just loves that story,, But I can understand that so many cowards within this country are convincing our brave young men and women to marry their same sex partners instead of working or going to the military, yup they should be both home breast feeding their adopted children, men and women instead of bravely eliminating terrorism,, yup,, I know I was a coward back then ,, but was such a small, small percentage where today that percentage is rising with the help of cowards like me,,, yup,,, and I continued that agent orange today as I gets a couple of those orange pills after supper that bring me back to those good ole days,,, yup,,, oooopps,, ouch,,,,oooops,, ouch,,, oooo ,,, welll the better get me another diaper,,, oo little darling/?????

I have a friend that is a Navy Recruiter. I had asked him one day what's the
number of recruits that you put through. His reply was, 1 in a 1000 gets in. Then he explained why. Which is, they failed the entrance exam, medical reasons, school grades, failed pshyc exam, and over weight, are the top 5 reason why. It's not because they don't want to join, it's because the standards have risen. "hkrause" wrote in message news:1107702855.683b4670669ee87957015da498157dc3@t eranews...
