Do you have any of the Marine re-enlistment statistics?

That site says nothing about "re-enlistment".
Oops.... missed the "re-" It appears that re-enlistment in the
Marines is up.... an up to $30,000.00 re-enlistment bonus must look
pretty attractive to some .....

Is that how cheap life has become?
In 1966, a six year reenlistment was worth $1200 *if* one qualified for a higher
level 'Variable Reenlistment Bonus'!
I guess to some $30,000 seems a sim. But it kinda makes you wonder about
the connection between Bush's open door illegal worker policy and a
military drawn from mostly lower socio-economic classes. Keep the
pressure on them, offer them a few bucks, and send them off to die...no
decent jobs around here anyway, eh?
Find me a country with a better unemployment rate. If none of the jobs are
paying anything, why are house prices increasing about 20% a year? Even the
illegals around here are getting $10-12 an hour for yardwork.
A decent job is a job with sufficient pay to support a family modestly,
a job that provides health care benefits, a job that provides some some
or decent retirement. Those are the jobs NOT being created in this country.
But there is plenty of yard work.
If I were in your shoes, and the economy was in the shape it's in, I'd be making
up stuff too.
