Army Recruiting Soars
Army hits recruiting goal of 61,000 soldiers 4 months early
By Todd South
The Army has met its fiscal 2025 recruiting goal four months early, signing 61,000 contracts for new active duty soldiers, officials announced Tuesday.
“This achievement represents a significant turning point for the Army and indicates a renewed sense of patriotism and purpose among America’s youth,” the Army said in a release.
The goal was 10% higher than the 55,000 recruits the Army sought last year. Average contracts per day exceeded last year’s levels by as much as 56% during the same period, according to the release.
“I’m incredibly proud of our U.S. Army recruiters and drill sergeants,” said Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. “Their colossal efforts and dedication to duty helped the U.S. Army accomplish our FY25 annual recruiting goal a full four months ahead of schedule.”
Last year marked the first time the Army had reached its recruiting goals in two years.
Amazing turn-around in attracting candidates for Army recruiting after struggling for so long. What could have caused such a sea-change?

A change in Presidents and the recruitment soars
I had this discussion over dinner with my liberal neighbors.
They did not believe there was DEI in the armed services, and that this was affecting recruiting.
Some things are true whether you believe them or not.
Who’d a thunk it possible?

Now, now, now…before you start giving The Bad Orange Man credit for this uptick, one must remember that the numbers surged because of the Alphabet crowd that finally finished their Pre-Basic Training cycle and all of these stunning and brave warriors have entered the pipeline. /s/
Now…if there are just a handful of gridiron warriors in this mix, maybe…just maybe, we’ll have some positive results come the 2nd weekend in December. GO ARMY…BEAT NAVY! Too soon? What say ye, ninja?
I’d like to see some supporting documentation.
The reason I am skeptical is because the program began in 2022, failed in 2022-2023 “Succeeded” in 2024 by recruiting the exact same numbers as in 2023, but the mission was adjusted down to meet low expectations. Then this year we have already exceeded all Biden years in number somehow due to the magic program.
Amazing what can happen when you do not have to share berthing with a cross dressing, junk tucking mental patient.
To paraphrase Trump’s border statement: “we didn’t need new recruiters, just a new president.”
Interesting how there are similar correlations everywhere, such as border crossings, value of my investments, rates of inflation, etc., etc., and yet our good friends on the left will not/cannot admit to any of it, or will ascribe it all to Biden. I’m sure we will see similar trend lines in other areas soon, such as crime, which will similarly be ignored or twisted.
Amazing what a Republican being elected can do.
