A classic U.S. Army slogan is back as the service looks to freshen its appeal to a new generation of recruits after missing its recruiting goal by 15,000 soldiers last year.
"We are not a ‘woke’ Army," Brito said."We’re an Army that represents all of America. We’re an Army that when called upon will fight our nation’s wars if necessary. We’re an Army that gives all these opportunities to young men and women from every state and every single territory."
More than 300 high school students attended the job fair at the San Diego Van Deman Reserve Center Wednesday, where soldiers from several Army specialties were on hand to talk about their jobs. Students were also able to sit inside different Army vehicles — including an MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. Marlea-Jade Moon, a ninth grader in the JROTC program at Morse High School, said the vehicles were the best part of the event.Moon and other high school students said they were considering military careers. Most, however, also said they were considering those careers after college.
