US military missed its national recruiting goal for 2022 by about 15-thousand soldiers.
Staff Sgt. Gaby Dunlap with the Indiana National Guard has a theory that it’s tougher for the military to recruit these days because many in this generation of high school age kids already have a five year plan.
She says that they are finding that the military doesn’t exactly fit into that five year plan.
Dunlap says they have been changing up their approach by engaging with high schoolers at basketball games throughout the season.
