The Army is extending recruiters’ orders by two months ... to ask them if they want an extension

Thank seems interesting and to me it makes sense, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell. The Army has long used bonuses to incentivize. $1,500 per month is not a lot but it is substantial especially it is paid out beginning before the end of this year.
1. "The Army is offering $1,500 a month for current recruiters to tack an extra year onto their tours, in a scramble to get the recruiting force manned at 100 percent for the new year, according to a public affairs."
2. "To make sure that everyone currently on recruiting duty has a chance to take advantage of that offer, Army Recruiting Command is temporarily adding 60 days to the orders of every recruiter currently serving, “to ensure the maximum number of [Department of the Army] Select Recruiters were given the chance to voluntarily extend,” USAREC spokeswoman Kelli Bland wrote in a Wednesday email to the command."
3. “My personnel staff is working directly with our impacted recruiters on a case-by-case basis to ensure this action does not cause any soldier or family undue hardship,” USAREC chief Maj. Gen. Frank Muth said Thursday in a statement. “If a recruiter is already in transit to another assignment and does not wish to volunteer to stay with USAREC for another year, we are going to make sure they can continue that move.”

Sounds like Duffleblog but isn't. I always knew who wanted an extension and who didn't. Ask the Commander!

They must already know the answer is NO! Haha
