July 21, 2005: While the U.S. Army continues to have problems recruiting enough troops, some interesting patterns are emerging from the situation. First, there is not a shortage of volunteers overall. The problem is that the navy, marines and air force have a surplus of applicants. It’s only the army that is having problems More BS. I have the numbers for each month for the past year. Both USAF and USNAV active duty personnel strengths are down 10 months in a row. Like the Army, both services are now understrength and have been for several months. USMC is also understrength slightly. More if you consider they have not been able to increase to a previously authorized temporary increase that is still in effect. Both USNAV and USAF announced an increase in reserves/NG on active duty this week.
