This, in turn, promotes financial stability, reduces stress, and fosters overall well-being. As for leaders, it is essential for their leadership roles in the Army.

Send us a textThe Army plans to get rid of "ineffective" recruiters. We read multiple articles, in particular, one that can be found on armytimes.com.

Also, because of the massive drop in recruits, the Army is overhauling their recruiting training program.
