Marines meet recruiting goals as other military branches struggle

The Marine Corps is the only military branch on track to meet its 2022 recruiting goal, while the Army, Navy, and Air Force expect to fall short.
The Marines credit their recruiting success to placing top performers in recruiting jobs and increasing the number of recruiters.
The Marine Corps plans to have 30% of its 2024 recruiting goal met by October 1st of this year.
The other armed services face challenges like competition from civilian jobs and rigorous standards.
The Marines focus on selecting qualified candidates over using bonuses to attract recruits.
