Throughout the week, noncommissioned officers across the Army have received notices through their branch managers and other officials that the service needs more recruiting NCOs \u2014 and it needs them fast.<\/p>\n

According to requisition emails posted to social media channels like Army Reddit, the Army is seeking volunteers to attend recruiting school as soon as Nov. 6, and has waived a host of standing qualifications<\/strong> in order to boost attendance. But other users reported receiving notifications for involuntary orders directing them to attend the course at Fort Knox, Kentucky.<\/p>\n

After public outcry about the move and instruction from Gen. Randy George, the service\u2019s chief of staff, the Army\u2019s top personnel officer, Lt. Gen. Doug Stitt, spoke with reporters Wednesday and apologized \u201cto the soldiers and the families that received this last-minute notification\u201d and told reporters \u201cthat mistake is mine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apology noted, but I don’t see the orders being rescinded. Winners of the recruiter lotto may submit a hardship waiver and good luck with that. Stitt’s advisor SGM Christopher Stevens called them “volunteer Army-selected recruiters.” More like volun-told. Be all you can be, be a salesman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
