We’re still in the transition of public image of the armed forces. Theres considerably more interest among young people, only the pay could defo be better and the qualification criteria are still really stingy in many areas
Maybe if NATO countries didn’t keep slashing budgets and making life in teh armed forces shit people would stay in the armed forces?
In the netherlands there is actually more interest to sign up than there are vacancies.
The problem however is keeping the experienced people on board. Pay is so far below they could get in civilian industry that its just not sustainable long term.
Pay them well. Have the will to do that and you dont have that problem anymore 💯
I was thinking of taking a break from the corporate life and sign up, but my country has sh_tty payment, equipment, logistics…
Just so everyone knows politico REGULARLY posts sensationalist BS
A military typically wants to recruit somebody at ~20 and probably doesn’t want to keep them beyond something like 60.
So 180,000 /40 should give you an average of 4500 people from the force leaving and being replaced per year. Is not 1537 people leaving in a year extraordinarily low?
Maybe if the conditions weren’t shit, and the careers likewise the military would become a more interesting option
Hell here in Portugal working as a cashier in a supermarket is more financially feasible than joining the military
Which is why a lot of people don’t join, or those that finish BASIC a lot of them quit
Heck, I don’t even want to make the calculations of how many privates my Base received and how many didn’t even last a year, and mine is only one on a few dozen in the country 🤷🏻♂️
The drums of war beat for thee, not for me says the latte sipping denialists in Europe.
There might be a war? They didn’t sign up for that!
