Navy report bemoans "millenial" generation... The typical kid today "has always been online" ... and his/her "best friend may be [OMG!] Chinese." No, s/he's not likely to enlist. Hilarious and well worth a read. wat up dude.

Damn, forgot to link it here. Admin? Sorry.

Right, it's not the pointless war that's killing recruitment; it's just that today's kids are too coddled to be worthy of joining the military.

(Hadn't seen it).

I thought my best friend was a Chinese middle school girl... Turns out it was really Quonsar.

If Navy recruiters couldn't figure out "suuup" without a powerpoint presentation, I think it's the recruit who might be the alien.

Don't forget:

OMG! = Oh My God!

Very important to know these things when you're out there droppin' knowledge with the Young People of Today. See? You should try to slip contemporary lingo in there > Let them know that our military isn't a stuffy, uptight institution. No, sir. Tell 'em that the military's got Mad Skillz and that we can Rock The House.
