[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1486472, member: 18945"] And yet, the Army/Marines* very very rarely miss a recruiting or retention quota goal monthly or annually and if they do, it's only by a few % points even as they are raising their qualifications. Not exactly a low risk or high reward occupation either, and yes, they are both scrutinized constantly by media and the public. Pay, is much higher than when I enlisted but still far below $40K/yr. Less than 1/2 that. $1600/mo for an E-1 (what used to be called a buck private) currently X 12 months= $19,200. [url=https://www.federalpay.org/military/marine-corps]https://www.federalpay.org/military/marine-corps[/url] What makes this high risk group different than Law Enforcement professionals? *I used those 2 branches because they historically, are most likely to be shot at in comparison to USN/USAF/USCG.
