Army Follows the Air Force's Lead by Calling Retirees Back to Active Duty
By streiff | 12:59 PM on March 28, 2024
The Army is opening the doors to retired soldiers to return to active duty to fill critical worldwide shortages. This follows the Air Force's February announcement that it would allow up to 1,000 retirees, including pilots, to return to active duty for up to four years.
The message called an All Army Activities or ALARACT message says:
“A review of commands’ requests for [the] fill of authorized personnel vacancies, in conjunction with current Army manning guidance, prompted review of how the Army can fill key and critical position vacancies,” the document stated, outlining the current situation. “The retiree recall program can be an effective tool to fill personnel shortages of authorized regular Army vacancies that are considered key and essential.”
This message applies to any retired soldier who can meet physical fitness standards and is not older than 70. Read that slowly.
The problem is brought on by two factors. The Army recruiting program is suffering a perfect storm in that it is trying to appeal to a youth cohort that has shown no evidence that it is willing to work and an Army leadership climate that devalues and denigrates white males while putting a premium on the sexually exotic demographic group in society, and idiots running the program.
