After missing its recruitment target by 25% in 2022, the US army has changed its approach to attracting more people into the forces, including targeting more gen Z applicants.
However, the average age of recruits has been increasing, with analysts at the Rand Corp in 2023 recommending an increase in the maximum enlisted age as older recruits are “of higher quality, more focused, and more motivated, as well as being ready to ship to basic training more quickly”.
Wow y’all are really doing this shit again, eh? Surely this will all be over very quickly. Any day now. The wars already won anyways, right?!
Anyways, have fun!
