And Drew is right about the new recruits.  The Marines are cutting back on 
re-upping and only taking on new recruits.  I'm not sure about the rest, but 
the members of the DC Whorehouse have decided that there needs to be budget 
cuts in the military and that is how they are handling it.

And, Bob, the promises they make to these kids are mostly pipe dreams!
