USA Job Recruitment Effort – One Young Mans Opinion on Heroic United States Military Recruits
Ready to be a Military Recruit?
Why the Recruitment Effort is
So Important to the USA Today
The Army National Guard and US Army Reserve are both composed of some of the toughest and most patriotic recruitments since WWII. Committed to protecting the United States and its Allies in time of need, these men and women are truly heroes for being willing to serve in the recruitment effort.
The Army Reserve now has over one million men and women ready to go at a moments notice. It is hard to fathom this level of commitment but easy to see why joining up as a recruit is so important to each individual soldier.
During WWII recruitment was not an issue (the draft papers were signed for you, so to speak.) At that crucial time when our country and the world were being attacked by Nazi Germany, not only did all able Americans serve directly in the battle effort –there were citizens and corporations acting as actual war “recruitment” soldiers. There was a terrific range of recruits! These layman recruits ranged from huge factories being quickly changed over to military arsenal plants to little children collecting bits of metal for the war effort. Even young women went without nylon stockings (unheard of in those days!) as part of the war effort. Everyone had a part to play, and the small and the large efforts added up to great victory of the Allies and the defeat of a determined, evil foe. There was no question of whether or not to help our troops, recruiting as a volunteer in the war effort was a natural part of being a United States citizen.
Today it is standard for recruiters to let new recruits know the bare truth; there is absolutely no benefit from disclosing anything but the truth. New recruits are treated with much more dignity and respect by more compassionate commanders. At the end of recruitment training, you’ll be tough and ready- but not to the point that you can’t make it through.
