I suspect the pipeline for new recruits is getting shorter. This is the 4th announcement of a new Army recruiting program in the past 3 days. Smacks of desperation to me.

For Immediate Release

Army tests 3-year Reserve enlistment option in Northeast

FORT KNOX, Ky. – The U.S. Army is testing a new three-year Reserve enlistment option in the Northeastern United States. Recruits who enlist for this option will serve three years in a Selected Reserve Troop Program Unit (TPU) and the remainder of their eight-year military service obligation in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Previously, new recruits had to commit to serving six years in a Selected Reserve TPU and two years in the IRR to be eligible for enlistment incentives.
Recruits may be eligible for an enlistment bonus of up to $10,000, depending on the Reserve unit vacancy and how quickly the individual can report to training. The Reserve Student Loan Repayment Program is also available to eligible recruits who choose the three-year enlistment option. Eligible recruits can receive $500 or 15 percent repayment on the outstanding balance of qualifying student loans (whichever is greater) for each year in the TPU.
