As he prepares to complete his tenure as Army chief of staff, Gen. James McConville is worried about the tough recruiting environment but optimistic that the service is doing the right things to get the best people.

“I’ll be straight up, recruiting is challenging right now,” McConville said July 18 during an Association of the U.S. Army Noon Report webinar where he discussed a variety of topics with retired Gen. Bob Brown, AUSA president and CEO.

Acknowledging the difficulties of attracting young people to Army service, McConville said, “Here’s what I know—there are a lot of young men and women that want to serve that cannot meet the standards,” and the Army is helping them get up to speed.

McConville highlighted the success of the Future Soldier Preparatory Course at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and Fort Moore, Georgia. Launched a year ago at Fort Jackson, the course’s academic and physical fitness tracks have helped enlistees improve their Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery or fitness scores so they qualify to become soldiers.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

There is a fine line between optimism and foolishness.  He is leaning towards the latter.
