'You can get out [of the Army] after four years, 100 percent paid for state college anywhere in the United States,' Maj. Gen. Muth said.
Recruits wanting to be all they can be are getting a different sales pitch from the United States Army, and it seems to be trending off the most recent sales charts. After umpteen years of having ongoing wars in the Middle East as a selling point, recruiters found a niche to meet their 2019 goals: the national student debt crisis.that Army leaders met to announce exceeding their 2019 goal of 68,000 new recruits, but they did not lean on multiple conflicts to reach that number.
"One of the national crises right now is student loans, so $31,000 is [about] the average," Muth told reporters at the Pentagon."You can get out [of the Army] after four years, 100 percent paid for state college anywhere in the United States." Muth said many soldiers still enlist because of educational benefits, trade skill training, the journey of joining and, for many, a way to finally venture from small-town America.
