Soldiers with patterns of misconduct will not be retained, Chandler has said repeatedly. His first target is the 4,877 soldiers who have committed multiple felonies while on active duty.
The Australian Defence force is trying to recruit laid-off soldiers, sailors and air crew from Britain, the US and other western countries in order to fill quotas.
The Australian reports the navy has sent a delegation to Britain to discover how many retrenched sailors, particularly engineers, are available.
A report on maintenance in Australia's navy suggested that as many as 200 engineers are needed to rebuild lost expertise.
The paper reports the department also is looking for defence specialists, such as fighter pilots, submarine crews and officers and are offering fast-tracked Australian citizenship as an incentive.

The Canadian Forces are accepting just over half the applications they normally would in a year, and unless the applicants have certain specific skills, they are being told to try again later.By: Shelldrake
Out of 100 categories of jobs or trades in the Forces, only 13 list current openings, including dentists, musicians and social workers.
The military normally recruits around 5,000 people in a year. This year, it expects to recruit only 2,800.
“For this year we have pretty much accomplished our raw numbers,” Lt.-Cmdr. Robert Bedard, a military recruiter, said Wednesday.

The Army Accessions Command will inactivate by the end of fiscal 2012 as part of the Department of Defense and Army efficiency reviews.
The decision is a result of a comprehensive study to develop appropriate options for the alignment of Accessions Command and other commands that fulfill human resource functions. The decision will streamline the Army’s accessioning process and produce savings by de-layering the command structure without increasing the risk to the Army.
In his memorandum to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Secretary of the Army John McHugh outlined five decisions which include inactivating Army Accessions Command, realigning Army Recruiting Command and Cadet Command under the Army Training and Doctrine Command, and continuing to align Human Resources Command under the deputy chief of staff, G-1.
Over the next year to 18 months this inactivation is expected to create economic savings through manpower reductions, including the elimination of two general officer and 65 other military positions, approximately 130 civilian positions, and 290 contractor man-years.
This action is not related to the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure reduction-in-force notices being given to the residual U.S. Army Armor Center and School civilian employees at Fort Knox, Ky.
Within 60 days of the April 19, 2011, directive, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower & Reserve Affairs (ASA M&RA), Thomas Lamont, will present McHugh a phased implementation plan addressing issues associated with the inactivation of Accessions Command. The realignment calls for the establishment of an Army Marketing and Research Group (for national and corporate marketing and research) as a field operating agency to ASA M&RA in the Military District of Washington.
Additionally, the Accessions Support Brigade will be retained and aligned to the Army Marketing and Research Group as a direct reporting unit. It will remain at Fort Knox.

DOD Announces Recruiting and Retention Numbers for Fiscal Year-To-Date 2011 Through October
The Department of Defense announced today recruiting and retention statistics for the active and reserve components for fiscal year-to-date 2011, through October. Beginning this fiscal year, the department will report against the services’ ‘year-to-date’ recruiting goals, as opposed to the monthly goals reported in the past. The department had already been reporting retention against year-to-date goals.
The services manage end strength using recruiting, retention, and attrition. The services set goals for each at the beginning of the year, and from those annual goals, develop monthly goals. When one element is doing better than expected, the services have to intentionally lower other elements, to ensure they do not exceed end strength at the end of the year.
“In the past, the services have, on occasion, intentionally ‘missed’ their monthly recruiting goals, to ensure they don’t come in over end strength,” said Accession Policy Director Curtis Gilroy. “This gives the false impression that recruiting goals are not being met, when in fact, for the year, the services are meeting or exceeding their goals. By reporting against year-to-date goals, the public is provided a more comprehensive picture of military recruiting.”
Active Component.
Recruiting - Year to Date. All four active services met or exceeded their numerical accession goals for fiscal year-to-date 2011 through October.
- Army – 6,643 accessions, with a goal of 6,425; 103 percent
- Navy – 2,291 accessions, with a goal of 2,291; 100 percent
- Marine Corps – 2,457 accessions, with a goal of 2,448; 100 percent
- Air Force – 1,511 accessions, with a goal of 1,511; 100 percent
Retention. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force retentions are near or above the fiscal year-to-date goals through October.

The Department of Defense’s Joint Advertising Market Research and Studies (JAMRS) program announced today it has launched http://www.myfuture.com, a new website to help America’s youth explore opportunities for their future. Myfuture.com provides comprehensive, unbiased information about career, education and military options for young people, ages 16 to 24.
Powered by information from the Departments of Defense, Education and Labor, myfuture.com provides young people with a resource that helps them formulate a plan for their future by establishing goals and identifying and understanding the steps necessary to reach those goals. The website brings clarity to the process by connecting visitors with factual, practical information and tools.
“People may wonder why the DoD is launching an exploration website for young people who are considering their options for the future,” said JAMRS Director Matt Boehmer. “The fact is, we found existing career and/or college exploration websites not affiliated with the DoD provide little, if any, coverage of the military and its career opportunities. Myfuture.com helps inform young adults who might not normally consider service about the benefits of a military career. By placing the military side by side with college and career opportunities, the website allows them to explore all possibilities and gain insight into each option. We also make the point that the three do not have to be mutually exclusive.”
Myfuture.com provides a breadth and balance of information not available anywhere else, allowing visitors to discover possibilities and opportunities that appeal to their own unique personality and goals. The website provides details on more than 1,000 civilian and military career fields and nearly 7,000 accredited colleges and trade schools. In addition to college admissions details, average salaries and employment trends, myfuture.com provides advice on everything from taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test to interviewing for a first job to preparing for basic military training. Step-by-step planning checklists are also provided as a guide for users, and favorite job and school information can be saved for return visits. For more information, visit http://www.myfuture.com.

An employment recruiter ("headhunter") inadvertently sent a letter to an A-10 pilot requesting his resume. His actual reply follows the request:
Dear Sir:
I am a recruiter in Dallas that specializes in placing students from key colleges in the positions they desire to be in with my clients across the nation. I work with companies of all sizes and industries. I received your name from several other members of the "Association of Former Students" here at Texas A&M University that I am currently working with. Feel comfortable that your information is confidential with my company. I would like to discuss whether you are currently in the market or even keeping your eyes open for the right opportunity. I would like to see a current copy of your resume to see what opportunities that you may be perfect for. Please send your resume via e-mail or fax to my attention, and I will follow up with you in the next few days to determine your level of interest.
I thank you in advance for your response. Please e-mail me back at <******@odellrecruits.com" , or call me direct at (800)880-xxxxx Extension ##xxx.
Sincerely,
Aaron McCartney
Senior Recruiting Consultant Odell & Associates
------------------------------------
Dear Mr. McCartney:
This is in response to the email you sent me regarding your services as recruiter. Currently I am employed as a US Air Force Fighter Pilot flying A-10 Thunderbolts for the 25TH Fighter Squadron, Osan AB, Republic of Korea.
My contract with the USAF does not expire until 2006. Here are some of my qualifications nonetheless, just in case any of your clients are need of someone with my expertise:
1. The ability to employ my aircraft, the feared A-10 Warthog, as one of the most capable ground attack/CAS platforms in the world.
2. Protect South Korea from communist hordes led by the Great Pornographer, Kim Jung Ill.
3. Drop cluster munitions from 10,000 feet onto unsuspecting DANKS (dumb ass north Koreans) and send 202 individual bomblets of wrath and fury into their starving, bloated, pink bodies.
4. Take a 6000 foot slant range Forced-No-Solution High-angle gun shot and kill troops in their wimpy little APC's with reckless abandon. (Do you have any idea, Mr. McCartney, what a 30mm Armor Piercing Incendiary round that is as long as your forearm does as it boars through a tank's walls like Jell-O? Let me tell you, it's not pretty.)
5. Get wicked-ass-drunk at the Officer's club on Friday nights, smokin' big fat Cuban cigars (this is Korea, not the US), drink Gin and Tonics like water, throw furniture off the roof, say 'f*ck' a lot, and piss off all the wives and hapless souls who hate our guts because they are not fighter pilots.
Mr. McCartney, I have no idea how to "hold a meeting," "do a memo," "take a lunch," "think outside the box" or even sit behind a desk for that matter. I only eat, sleep, fly, and drink. I am an instrument of national policy the likes of which your clients probably have never seen. I would just as soon detonate a 500 pound Mark 82 Air Burst 20 feet above a DANK playground than wander through some corporate office blabbering about business plans and the latest episode of Ally "eat a friggin sandwich" McBeal.
Thank you for your letter and please let me know if any of your associates show interest in my capabilities. I look forward to hearing from you.
The Canadian military has had to change its basic training regimen because raw recruits are coming in fatter and weaker. Last year more than one in 10 trainees were sent to a special program -- a sort of military fat camp -- just to make the minimum fitness standard.
"The lifestyle of Canadians has changed," acknowledged Cmdr. Hubert Genest, spokesman for the forces' recruitment branch. "They're not as active as they were."
On average, we spend more time staring at screens, eat more crappy food and get less exercise than ever before. Genest said that society's spreading girth and shrivelling muscle mass presents an "interesting problem" for the military, which has been on its biggest recruiting drive in decades.
"It's easy to be selective when you only take in 1,000 people a year," he said. "But when you have to open the gates and take 5,000 or 6,000 recruits, you have to accept the fact you're going to get all sorts of people who aren't in as good a shape as they should be. They're all good people, strong candidates, it's just that some of them aren't in shape."
In the past, potential recruits had to pass a basic fitness test before they were accepted into the regular, or full-time, military. That changed in 2006, when basic training for all three branches -- Army, Navy and Air Force -- were centralized at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in St.-Jean-sur- Richelieu, 25 km south of Montreal. All raw recruits from across the country spend 14 weeks at the school. The first week includes a four-step fitness evaluation, which includes a shuttle run, pushups, situps and hand-grip to measure strength. Those who flunk the evaluation are put in a special remedial program called Warrior Fitness Training, designed to whip them into shape.
Of the 6,400 recruits who started basic training last fiscal year, just over 700 (11%) went through the program. Program participants spend nearly half their day in intensive physical training. They take classes in nutrition and self-motivation. As soon as they can pass the evaluation, they're put back into regular basic training.
They're given 90 days to shape up. If they can't do it in that time, they're washed out and sent home. Recruit school spokeswoman Andree-Anne Poulin said while there's a higher proportion of flabby recruits, they're getting older, too.
"Our average age is 22 or 23," she said. "But we're getting quite a few in their 30s and 40s, wanting to start a second career."
Interestingly, no matter how unfit they are when they start, career military types are much fitter on average than the civilian population. All personnel must pass an annual fitness test. In the army, that test includes a timed 13-km hike with a full pack. Genest said even in the confined quarters of a naval ship, sailors work hard at staying in shape.
"The flight deck of a frigate has lots of exercise equipment and everyone is expected to spend an hour a day in the gym," he said. "Being fit is part of your job in the military."
The forces' recruiting website explains how it transforms recruits from flab to fab.
"You'll be up early, very early. You'll do lots of pushups, situps and chinups. You'll run. You'll practice drill. You'll learn about weapons, how to handle them, take care of them and how to use them. You'll learn about maps and compasses and how to live in the field under tough conditions. You'll learn First Aid and CPR. In short, you'll become a soldier."

The Department of Defense announced today its recruiting and retention statistics for the active and reserve components for July 2010.
Active Component.
Recruiting. Three of the four active services met or exceeded their accession goals for July 2010. The Marine Corps intentionally slowed accessions for July because it is exceeding its fiscal year-to-date recruiting goals.
- Army - 6,975 accessions with a goal of 6,707; 104 percent
- Navy - 2,990 accessions with a goal of 2,990; 100 percent
- Marine Corps - 2,845 accessions with a goal of 2,847; 99 percent
- Air Force - 1,920 accessions with a goal of 1,920; 100 percent
Retention. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force retention are at or above the fiscal year-to-date goals for the first 10 months of the fiscal year.

Activists rallied outside the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Virginia, Sunday to applaud the man military officials suspect leaked scores of military documents to the WikiLeaks website - a 22-year-old Army private named Bradley Manning.
"We are here to say that if he, indeed, was the whistle-blower, then we are proud of him," said Medea Benjamin, founder of anti-war group Code Pink. "In the United States that I know and love, transparency is a positive thing."
Manning, who served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, is the military's focus in the investigation into the largest-ever intelligence leak in American history, to WikiLeaks.org.
He is being detained at Quantico pending a military investigation in a separate case, in which he's charged with eight violations of the U.S. Criminal Code, including for allegedly leaking a secret military video from the Iraq war to WikiLeaks.
