We're failing to meet recruiting numbers. Badly. A buddy of mine is a detailed recruiter and he showed me the numbers. Areas that traditionally produced the most recruits are progressively more over weight and have health issues that disqualify them, and areas they're pushing into have drug or criminal problems.
Also doesn't help that for a lot of people enlisting it's because they know a servicemember, either in their family, or friend circle, so as they branch out they're really struggling.
I have a theory it's going to get worse. Retention numbers passed first contract are pretty solid, but a lot of career fields are bleeding talent at the 8-11 year mark for high performing SSGs.
