They're gonna have to pay more. I know I'd take a job at McDonald's for starting wages before I would even half-way consider signing-up for another career in uniform.
The medical benefits were worthwhile for the past 20 years, but the co-pays and difficulty getting in to see a doc are eroding that feeling with a quickness.
I don't even know what benefits would incentivize interest to be honest. I can only tell you from what I do know, and my present and past affiliation, no recommendation is going to pass my lips.
I used to sing the praises of the VA. Now I try to avoid the place like the plague. Once all the good doctors left, they were replaced with a bunch mentally impaired fools that could not get a job anyplace else.
Never say never, but they are going to have to pull some serious magic out of their hat to get me to ever volunteer to serve again.
Retired from Active Duty in '98. Never dealt with the VA. I guess I'm fortunate.
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
