I'll bet there is a correlation toward those kinds of events in places like Texas and recruitment trends.

Mike,
I bet you are right.
That begs the question, why wouldn't a patriotic theme work elsewhere in the country?

Did you know the Navy is also down 8 consecutive months? They had been working to get down to 365,900. The latest Navy report (Mar 31) says they are at 365,747. First time in many years, the Navy is understrength at all.

153 men short is not a big deal, but a trend is a trend.
It will be interesting to see if the Navy can now hold their strength with enlistments and reenlistments.
