Yes, I know that and is not my point. The Army isn’t meeting its recruitment needs to fill critical MOS’. Koo-do’s to the ppl currently serving. I served for six years. How are they going to meet those needs?
It’s very difficult to convince an 18-year-old to get shot at for less than minimum wage when a 16-year-old can walk on at McDonald’s and make $15-20 per hour flipping burgers.

When I got out the retention NCO said: what are you going to do, flip burgers? I said, if I have to yes. He didn’t like that answer.

NY shooting? You’re kidding.
A rapper? You’re kidding.
CLT to house him? You’re not kidding.
How is this possible? I feel like I can’t pee without creating drone footage through the skylight in today’s world.
They don’t know where they came from? Sounds safe. What could go wrong.
Another winner.
I love our news…
How does a person get to a point where there is nothing better to do with your time?
The social safety net has gotten so big you don’t have to get out and work anymore. Stay home in momma’s basement, get high, sleep all day then go out at night to shoot shyte up.
I started working at 16.

And in today’s news…
" Homicides are up in Charlotte. Last year, 110 people were killed in Charlotte, up from 89 in 2023. It’s the highest number since 2020 and the second highest since at least 2009.
The city is bucking national trends, too. Across 85 cities, homicides dropped for the third straight year, down 17% since 2023. Other cities in North Carolina have been a mixed bag. Last year, Greensboro saw a 42% drop in homicides. Raleigh and Durham haven’t released their year-end homicide counts, however, both cities saw an increase in the first half of 2024 over the same six-month period the year before.
This comes as police departments across the country have struggled to recruit and retain officers. As of November 2024, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police had 300 vacancies, about 15% of its workforce. Dan Redford, president of Charlotte’s Fraternal Order of Police, said the profession took a major morale hit following the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020."

There is no way on god’s green earth I would become an LEO. Not going to happen. The hate already built up in the culture and SOME, not all, cops acting as the mob. Nah, I can do without the hassle and hate.

Yep, I just had a DM dump from an esteemed member claiming to be retired LEO. He proved that there are some really bad cops.
