alright emo your dumb.

recruiters get commision for recruiting, its called GRAP
any one in the army that gets some on to enlist gets 1000$ when they go to basic and 1000$ when they finish. that is there incentive to get people to go to MEPS

MEPS filters out those people who are overweight ect. when i was in meps there was 20 people going threw processing and only 4 were passed threw.
as for bonus's... those are over.. no more bonus's and if im not mistaken they dont even give bonus's to infantry or EOD any more. NO BONUS"S period... now that seems crazy right? no it is ACTUALLY because we are over ranked. we are above needed strength
so why give people an incentive to join.
the reason why it is such a horrible idea to make basic a easier "ordeal" is because part of the basic purpose is to weed out and get rid of those people who are not strong enough or mentally ready. it isnt Army mediocre,
its Army Strong.
