With two months left in the fiscal year, the Pentagon is still short of that goal.<\/p>\n<p>The Army is facing the biggest shortfall at some 60% below its annual target. It could end the year nearly 40,000 personnel smaller than the that authorized by Congress. The Army has also announced it will boost sign-on bonuses to a maximum amount of $50,000 in an attempt to bridge the gap in its recruiting goals.<\/p>\n<p>This incentive largess failed despite, or perhaps partly because of, the marketing blitz of Woke Army.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EMMA | THE CALLING | GOARMY\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MIYGFSONKbk\" width=\"460\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well that didn&#8217;t exactly resonate with today&#8217;s youth. After failing to attract qualified recruits in adequate numbers, it seems reasonable to attempt to retain the troops one has. There are any number of ways to achieve this, none of which are being explored by Big Pentagon. The Perfumed Princex have a Better Idea.

The SNAP program provides benefits for low-income families to purchase food.<\/p>\n<p>The recommendation is part of the Army\u2019s Financial Readiness Program. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some Soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they\u2019ve set and used before,\u201d the guidance said. \u201cSoldiers of all ranks can seek guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army\u2019s Financial Readiness Program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Food stamps are run by state agencies and eligibility varies by state. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2022\/09\/us-army-suggests-troops-get-food-stamps-if-struggling-with-high-inflation\/\">American Military News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Welcome back to the hallowed days of yester-year in Carter&#8217;s Hollow Military where retention is a fantasy and readiness a myth.
