When you actively disparage and discourage the population segment which has historically been the source for the majority of combat arms enlistments--white straight males---what other result would you expect?
While it may not do the Army any good, how about we put Admiral Levine in a set of Donald Duck Dress Blues in the article and re-word it: "GEE!! I WISH I WERE A MA'AM. I'd JOIN The NAVY."
But you know? That just might make some youngsters go next door to the Army recruiter. The Navy can have my advice for free. But I want $11M from the Army if it works. I'll donate it for haze gray paint to cover up rust. Don't they know that rusty warships are a bone-kill to recruiting and retention?
Curried squid and bagoong served over rice and nattō, but Samoan style? What could go wrong? I'd have thought that would attract just the demographic they are looking for.
OK. It was an omission. But I think I would have said "Treet". It is cheaper than Spam. But no kidding, two nights ago when my wife was in the hospital it fell to me to feed our dogs. They got canned squid, leftover ampalaya/long beans/bagoog and a can each of vienna sausages and Treet all diced up and blended in. They gnarfed it happily. Good catch, Mister T.
Gah! What is it about Enlisted sailors and skanks? Some Warrants and LDO's too. It might be something in the beer. Have you been drinking tonight, Mister T?
The link was broken... but sure, there MIGHT be a few stories (mostly from those navy days) that neither my kids, nor the authorities, need to ever hear...🤣

They have lost the trailer parks when they lost The Rock…

I guess they didn't care to smell what the Rock was cooking.
Well he did endorse Biden in the 2020 selection

You didn’t say Spam.

God loves Sailors and Dogs.
To be fair, tapping a follower segment thats bigger than your population isn't a wholly bad idea. I mean, the Chinese are doing it...
Now the amount of $$ spent is a whole separate discussion...!!!
Maybe it is time to be tapping (figuratively speaking) the Village People again.

As someone that had orders to Missouri in A School that changed last minute..
This still is upsetting!!

But lemme say that after re-reading your comment...I would prefer Cher too.
And further, I would have said that you are dating yourself with that post but I don't think you are a narcissist who solos very much.
Nope no narcissistic bone in this body.
Like you don’t even know me. Three fingers of bourbon
SpellCheck and Auto-Correct is our friend, innit? Far better than "Like
you dont ever no me. Free thingers of burben"
I'd like to embrace technology more, and it's not that I am a Luddite. It's just that it hurts so much being rebuffed.
"What is it about enlisted sailors..."
Ouch Dale, I felt that one!!!
Although, after careful thought and reflection, I have no valid argument or comeback...
16+ years Enlisted here. It's a skin that is hard to shed. Not that I want to.
I had this on 8 track..
🤣
There are some things that my have happened in Vegas or at Band Camp that should remain closeted. Just sayin'.

Link works on my desktop PC. Try cut and paste. Or google "Cher chair tattoo" for an image.
