The Army has cut orders sending 800 NCOs to recruiting school. Included in the memo are the fact that none of the time-in-grade, fitness or evaluation restrictions will be enforced, and that anyone E-5 (Sergeant) or above who accepts the orders will get a one-grade promotion, $5,000, and then $1,500 a month if they accept a one-year extension of the duty. And then, if the recruiter recruits 24 people in a one-year period, they get another one-grade promotion.
To put that in perspective, the first year ($5K bonus plus E-5 to E-6 promotion), will be about 24-30% increase in pay, and the $1,500 extra per month for the next year will be a 50% bonus on top of that (and the E-7 promotion on top of that). So, a newly minted E-5 on their first enlistment could be an E-7 two years from now, doubling their pay (2nd year E-5 makes $2,730 a month, fourth year E-7 with the extension bonus would be making $5,405 a month).
Anyone want to bet against the Army dropping or severely reducing their recruitment standards?
They're probably going to start putting more white dudes in their ads.
Putting the hilarity of trannies and homos breaking their nails and dying by tripping on a stray tires on the ground aside...
Sending all those soldiers to die in WW2 really altered the entire voting demographics in the country. The tip of the spear was most likely to die (by merit of being the tip of the spear), but they were also the most rugged.
I fully expect either full-on waivers for people already in the student loan programs, or the diversity hires are the ones all in airconditioned buildings laughing into radios at the real men getting blown up by roadside IEDs.
And for a military that did nothing while their leadership pledged fealty to foreign nations and followed the installed Resident and his regime, I can't say I'm crying any tears.
Two point. One, in WWII, the highest fatality rates were actually among aviators and submariners, so per capita, we were killing off our smartest kids. And as far as the killing goes, WWI was worse. Imagine the 1920s and 30s if there hadn't been mass bloodshed in the trenches.
Keep in mind that normies have goldfish level memory. They're going to need to be reminded about the two moms recruitment ad and the transgender admirals and shit.
o rly?
Next up, a series of recruiting ads trying to parrot the 1980s/early 90s ads, and utterly failing, because can't understand premise or audience.
That and the audience being told to GTFO for years. Hopefully enough remember that and tell Biden et al to go pound sand first hand this time.
Uncle Sam laughs in draft boards
I used to doubt that the draft would come back. Now, I honestly think that one of two things will be done: either draft the illegals (a la the Romans) or do the whole "military or prison" bit, and being mean on the Internet will be declared a crime.
Bringing back "The Draft" is probably one of the top contenders to start a second civil war.
I honestly agree with you, but the writing's on the wall, The Powers That Be are hungry because the war machine wasn't fed properly for a couple years, and we didn't rise to the bait when BIG Z asked us to. (What do you mean, the plebs don't want a ground war with Russia?)
they will never take me alive
General tone of the comments on the video where I originally heard this.
why would any self-respecting american volunteer to fight for joe biden's handlers? fight for GAY and TRANNIES?
For the money. Wipe out the economy and make the military the only way to get paid.
Goy cannon fodder.
That $5k bonus is gonna be worthless in a couple years.
They started doing this at least a year ago. My friends grandson finally got in but they had to issue him 3 waivers (health related) to get him in. He just finished all of his schooling and is at his duty station. I'm expecting to hear he's been shipped out any day now.
WW3 is going to be interesting.
You mean, dropping them lower than they already were?
Yeah why not, might as well waive the no aids requirement while we're at it. As the military crumbles further to pieces, it'll just be less able to defeat us down the line.
That’s a nearly impossible task. As I understand it, recruiters are expected to average one per month. Doubling that is really a stretch. There usually aren’t enough potential recruits for that.
Yeah, that part of it has a lot of people scratching their heads online. Either the people who thought this up weren't fully versed in recruiting, or they expect recruiting to get easier in the next two years. "Tired of SoyBugBurgers? Come try an MRE!"
But even with just the E-5 -> E-6 bump and retention bonuses, that's a nice pay raise for the recruiters.
I’ve heard about this. I really hope it doesn’t happen
And if you join now, we can jump you up by two belts and say you're a Chief all you want! I mean, the real black belt will kick your ass, but that rarely happens.
I've been hearing its really hard to get NCO in the Marines, there are a lot of forever Corporals.
I think this might be even worse. I think we might be witnessing the return of the "4-F O-K" or "McNamara's Morons" projects, where anybody who wants in gets in.
Do not do that. My wife saw it and now thinks I should be an officer.
Having been under a couple of eternal sergeants in the civilian world, it's not just the good ones who get out.
