So, has the government now ceased realasing recruiting data?

It seems interesting to me that this information used to be out the first day of a new month. Then it was late and a bit schmoozed, now the data appears to be absent. Have I missed it? Is it available?

they had to raise the recruiting age to 49 and reduce the quota to 5 people though. :shrug:

3. Well, here is what I ahve been able to find, not much:

2006 Recruitment Looks Rough Too
With 2005 nearing its close, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that 2006 isn't looking too hot for enlistment either.

pool of early recruits signed up for boot camp next year is unusually small. The Army hopes to have banked about 7,200 of these recruits in its delayed entry pool for 2006 -- less than a fourth of the delayed entry enlistees it had signed up for 2004. Next year, said Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker, "may be the toughest recruiting environment ever."

4. ...and I found this...

which offers no hard numbers that can be used, except for Navy. Allows it to be totally fluffed.

Most military forces meet July recruiting goals
Army is still short of annual requirement. Numbers for the National Guard and reserve also lag.

WASHINGTON -- A combination of recent high school graduates, extra recruiters and added incentives helped all of the armed services -- except the Navy -- meet or exceed their recruiting goals in July, the Pentagon announced Wednesday. The Navy fell short only 41 new sailors, or 1 percent, of its quota.

But despite its second straight month of successful recruiting, the Army remains well below its annual requirement for new soldiers and, with only two months left in the fiscal year, is unlikely to make up the deficit, a Pentagon official said.
