Story: "The Army is ending its best recruiting year since 1997 and expecting similar success in 2007
...
the Army will enlist its 80,000th soldier on Friday, reaching its goal for the year with eight days to spare. That is a considerable turnaround from last year when the Army missed its target for the first time since 1999 and by the widest margin in more than two decades.
At the start of this recruiting year, which began Oct. 1, 2005, many questioned whether the Army would reach 80,000, given the many alternative career options available to young people and the growing unpopularity of the Iraq war. But a package of new financial incentives, new recruiting approaches and a bigger recruiting corps did the trick."
Sounds good.

The Army do need new recruiting methods. (They've been trying to woo me for the past 3 years.) Got a few odds against them, especially with the growing unpopularity of the Iraq War.
*does need
My bad grammar.
Wait... They just busted the recuiting goals, and to a degree not met in 9 years! What needs to change??
