WASHINGTON — The Army met its recruiting goal for March, but lags behind last year's pace as it nears some of the most challenging recruitment months of the year.
March marked the 10th month in a row that the active-duty Army has met its recruitment goals, aided by an aggressive campaign that includes financial bonuses and a significant increase in the number of recruiters. It has recruited a total 31,369 soldiers since last October 1, compared to more than 32,100 as of this time last year. The goal for each year: 80,000.
Filling the force - Don't see the media or Mikey Moore reporting this. March marked the 10th month in a row.
