You know - order their stupid magazine and get a cheap phone shaped like a football.

The Army can send you a phone shaped like a IED.

We are going down the tubes so fast in this country.

OPERATION SMART

Sergeant Major of the Army Recruiting Team (SMART) Program

As an integral team effort in helping meet the Army's recruiting mission, the Sergeant Major of the Army organized Operation Sergeant Major of the Army Recruiting Team (SMART). This program encourages Soldiers to provide referrals interested in the Army and Army Reserve.

The United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) developed this referral system for all Soldiers (Regular Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard) and civilians on all Army installations and in all Reserve units to have the ability to provide referrals interested in the opportunities of the Army and Army Reserve. Referring Soldiers or civilians must either submit their referral(s) via this site or through the USAREC 1-800 line (1-800-223-3735 extension 6-0473) dedicated to this program.

At the end of each fiscal year, the Soldier or civilian with the highest number of referrals resulting enlistments will be invited to the Annual Chief of Staff of the Army, Recruiter of Excellence Award Ceremony in Washington , D.C. to be personally recognized for their achievement.

Making Referrals Referral Bonus Program


You May be eligible to receive $1,000.00
Establish Your Account today!


Effective 18 January 2006. To be eligible to receive a $1,000.00 referral bonus the referring Soldier must be a member of the regular component of the Army, The Army National Guard (SELRES) or Army Reserve (SELRES) to include AGR Soldiers on active duty. Referrals may be to any component of the Army (Active, Reserve or National Guard) and do not have to be in the same component as the referring Soldier.

Retirees are eligible also see page three of http://www.armyg1.army.mil/RSO/echoes/06_Sep.pdf
I hate to say it but I sure could use that bonus too bad though since I would never sell the army to kids so as to fight for the fascists regime ruining this country
