My best man was a USAREC Station Commander, Chatted to him a few weeks ago. This is what I understand....no expert here.
Due to the recession the level of guys separating has dropped significantly and USAREC has already reached its mission for the year. So the order went out to cut back on guys coming in.
Down go Bonuses and Recruiters are only allowed to work 9-5 due to the spate of recruiter suicides. Apparently Med waivers are not enlistable, that may only be for the 18X program?
Word has it that they are even looking at only taking those with at least some university. But….before you panic check with your recruiter.
Also I believe that recruiting year ends September therefore new mission, everything opens up. You will probably see a small rise in Bonuses and some of the restraints loosen.
HTH
Any questions?
