Army misses second monthly recruiting goal
The Army failed to meet its June recruiting target for the second straight month, with defense officials saying the shortfall was about 15 percent. The 8,400 goal would imply roughly 7,000 recruits signed up, amid concerns over the Iraq war and economic conditions.
Army says recruitment pace remains on track for year end
The Army reports May recruiting was 5,101 new soldiers, about seven percent below the 5,500 goal. Spokesman Col. Dan Baggio says the service remains on track to reach its 80,000 annual target as earlier results boosted progress toward the fiscal year end on September 30.
