    The military touts a "recruit’s market" that should attract
    fresh blood into its ranks as each branch faces recruiting
    shortfalls following the coronavirus pandemic.

    "In real estate, you talk about buyer's and seller's markets,"
    Maj. Gen. Edward W. Thomas Jr., commander of the Air Force
    Recruiting Service, told Fox News Digital. "You know, this is a
    recruiting market right now. There are good opportunities to
    serve and good incentives to do so."

    The military faced a drop-off in recruitment during the
    pandemic: Each branch met active component goals, but reserve
    numbers have fallen short each year. That shortage has now hit
    the Active component goals for the Army and Navy, with other
    branches just meeting their goals.

    One significant factor that Thomas highlighted is the lack of
    engagement the military could pursue while schools remained
    remote in 2020 during nationwide lockdowns: A 2018 report by the
    Institute for Defense Analyses heavily focused on recruitment at
    the high school level, indicating the high value placed on that
    pipeline.

    "Really in the long term … it's declining eligibility, declining
    propensity or interest in serving and declining trust in
    government," Thomas said.

    "Today, 77% of American youth aged 17 to 24 will not qualify to
    serve the United States military without a waiver, 77%," he
    continued. "That's based on a variety of different reasons, from
    weight to medical issues to academic issues to behavioral
    issues, mental health issues. It's a wide variety with 77% don't
    qualify without a waiver."

    And Thomas admitted that the perception around the military
    withdrawal from Afghanistan may have impacted recruitment in the
    last six months, but stressed that he would not consider it "one
    of the primary drivers."

    The drop-off forced the military to reduce their goals, which
    they were able to do thanks to higher-than-usual retention.

    "Back in 2020 and '21, we did reduce our recruiting goals
    slightly because retention was high," Thomas said. "We have not
    seen that in wanting to."

    "What we saw when COVID hit, we had record high retention in the
    Air Force and I believe across the body," Thomas explained. "You
    know, frankly, it just wasn't a great time to transition out
    into the civil sector to be looking for a job. With all the
    uncertainty both in the market and people's personal lives with
    COVID, retention was high."

    Thomas argued that the job market continues to play a major
    factor in the recruitment equation. With the nation facing its
    highest level of employment in 50 years, the military faces
    "fierce" competition with the general job market. The rate of
    unemployment spiked early in the pandemic but has since then
    returned to around 3.5%

    "It's good for the nation in general," he said. "It makes the
    battle for talent all that much more ferocious."

    To try and compete with that healthy market, the military has
    offered larger-than-usual bonuses, including up to $50,000 for
    certain fields, such as special warfare. Other fields for "hard
    to fill jobs" have incentives ranging from $3000 to $6000. The
    main goal is to keep trying to attract the best of the best,
    including varsity athletes, candidates with multiple language
    proficiency or candidates with expertise in niche fields
    including crypto.

    Part of the problem may be due to the lack of understanding when
    it comes to the kinds of roles available in the military. In
    just the Air Force alone, Thomas noted that there are "about 130
    enlisted career fields."

    "Almost anything you can do in a major city, maybe other than
    being a stockbroker, you know, or a few select jobs you can
    pretty much do in the Air Force," he explained. "So all of the
    peripherals that we recruit for, we're recruiting for medical,
    for radiology technicians, for dental technicians … you name it."

    The Military needs people to clean their toilets too... "It's NOT just
    a job, it's an adventure". Imagine cleaning toilets all around the
    world, become an Army of ONE.
