Yeah, but selection and the Q are different now, they're in need, and sadly the attrition rate is not what it once was. We send soldiers left and right and they're all doing pretty well, of course they are under my excellent instruction :-). I'm still considering it, but I want a family and I'm just not certain that group is the right place to make a healthy family life, or the army in general for that matter.

Well, I'm only 2 weeks into training so I've not really hit any really cool stuff yet, but the instrutor keeps telling us we picked a great field. The bonus for reenlistment is one of the highest right now. The instuctor said there were around 1600 of us in this feild and they are wanting to double it. With the escalating UAV usage I dont see them getting rid of us anytime soon. I've got several prior service guys in my class.

Just graduated Army recruiter school. Hopefully I can get some better soldiers in that what I've gotten the past few years

Anyways to the new "cherries" here copy and paste the freedom isn't free and add it to your sig. Also, I made a OIF and OEF badge too for you guys that deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan
