It's USAREC's new baby. They're trying to make a "Golden Knights, but esports" thing. They pull from active duty and reserves. You try out, and if you make one of the teams, that's your job for however long.

Because the Army has a million bazillion dollars to spend on recruiting and retention and the Air Force makes you file a requisition form to give someone a frisbee, that's why

They actually have a “marketing” functional area now solely for recruiting and retention. They tried to get all of us PSYOP guys to switch. No one bit as far as I know.

The Army does spend more per recruit than the Air Force, but the last time I really looked into it, it was about $1.4-1.6 dollars per USAF $1 spent per required recruit. But also the Army big and misses goals all the time, and I don't think the Thunderbirds directly count against USAF recruitment costs.

Avoid GW. They’re an exploitative company that fully leans into the xenophobic misogynistic fascism of their fictional Empire/Imperium. Anyone who remembered that it used to be satire is long gone from the company.

Don't give me that lip when AF dfacs are like eating in a mall food court and army dfacs are like going to, I dunno, an average plains states pot luck after it's been picked clean.

People want to join the air force. The army has to trick people into enlisting.

AF takes way better care of their troops than the army.

On the other hand, they did get their employees paid, which is a super rare thing these days when companies make money.

The overall salaries there may seem low but the tabletop and pen and paper games industry pays peanuts overall. My friends in the industry wish they worked there (even if they don't love the games)

It ain't that bad nowadays. They even gave the fully automated gay space communists an actual story and their biggest leader is a female soldier. They also woke up Roboute Guilliman who basically turns to the reader and says "the Imperium is a dystopian, despotic mess and I don't even know if I want to try anymore"

They still charge you like $200 for an Imperial Knight though so that part is still the same.

Someone in the comments points out that's a tampon applicator, and if you zoom in on the license, it has Heard's signature on it. Still weird for Depp to be on the floor, but maybe he's just been knocked out by her bludgeoning him with something.

And as someone else said, if he's passed out after doing four lines of coke, he needs a new dealer.
