Marine's exceed recruiting goals

Boy for such an unpopular war, how is it that the Marine's are able to exceed their recruiting goals.

WASHINGTON - The Marine Corps far surpassed its recruiting goal last month and could eventually be more than a year ahead of schedule in its plan to grow the force to 202,000 members.

All military services met or exceeded their monthly recruiting goals in April, with the Marine Corps signing 142 percent of the number it was looking for, the Pentagon said.

The Army signed 101 percent of its goal, recruiting 5,681 against a goal of 5,650. The Navy and Air Force met their goals — 2,905 sailors and 2,435 airmen.

A big ole salute to our young men and women who've made a tremendous sacrifice by volunteering for service.

Oh, by the way, I didn't see Katie Perky report on this last night.
