Retention and Recruitment Crisis

Here’s a recruiter with zero fucks remaining.

That is not a healthy choice to post about a recruit who dropped from the DEP. Life happens.

I’ll bet odds that if my army recruiters found this young person they could enlist him in the Army.

Yep. Good people have options. If you don't agressively go after them to recruit, or if you give off bad vibes, it's going to turn a lot of prospects off.

I think if I was on the fence about joining the Marines or not and saw this, I would reconsider joining. "What if it ends up not working out and my recruiter puts me on worldwide blast? Better to not even go down that road."

100 percent agree.

We signed up a potential Air Force prospect because he kept getting the run around.

My recruiters stand on “honoring a person’s desire and commitment to join.” I am proud of them.

So a guy quits DEP, woohoo. DEP is meant to help prepare the recruit physically for basic training. They're not there to make you hate the service...it's continuous recruitment.
