Don't know about reg army, but the NDNG is good. In fact they are talking about cutting enlistment bonuses, and possibly reup bonuses. They have enough people (130% strength) and are facing budget cuts.

yeah. MNNG is fucked.
140+ soldiers that didn't get pay for a few months along with some other neg PR and recruiting is looking bad.

OH HELL NO!
I already don't get paid enough for how much time I put in, I don't need anyone else taking up another jet and breaking it every damn time they fly. 60 hour weeks/ 40 hours of pay is not worth it. You can get your back seat ride from Falcon 4.0. Hell I haven't gotten a ride yet and I work on the damn things.
