Army, Navy and Air Force predict recruiting shortfalls this year - NewsBreak

Maj Kim Patterson thanks for the share.

I went to AIT shortly after 9/11. One of my instructors was a MSG who had been on terminal leave and was recalled and her retirement rescinded. She was absolutely worthless. She refused to actually instruct a single module. Refused to answer questions from students. Refused to operate the simulator. Refused to update lesson plans. She showed up, sat at the back of the classroom, and occupied space.


Recalling folks who voluntarily left tends not to be a good idea - they left for a reason. Recalling folks who involuntarily left tends to not be a good idea, either - there is a reason they were booted.

The ONLY folks that may be good for recall is RCP folks (provided we waive RCP) or medical discharges that have since recovered / healed. And those are an exceptionally small minority.

That would kill the military to involuntary recall IRR personnel to active duty in this atmosphere. Many…if not most in the IRR did not reenlist because they did not want to stay on AD or even in the military in the first place, much less in this self imposed military of bogus BS.
The Article 15/Captains Mast lines will form real quick if they try a stunt like this with no actual wartime need being expressed other than not enough wanting to join.
They would be better off with a draft; at lest those brought in under a draft have not experienced the military prior to this woke mindset.
