OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ The Oklahoma Army National Guard is increasing incentives in an effort to get more recruits and to get more current soldiers to re-enlist.

New recruits will get a bonus of $6,000 or $10,000, depending on their field of practice. Current soldiers who'll re-enlist for six years will get a $15,000 bonus.

Officials say a drop in recruits is the reason for the incentives. Lieutenant Colonel Greg Davis says the state is about 350 soldiers below the required level. He says the Guard has 6,785 soldiers and needs about 7,150 by the end of the fiscal year.

The Guard also offers 100% tuition assistance for its members attending state-supported colleges or technical institutes and a student loan program.

if you die. :(

I like how the original puts a dollar sign in front of the number of soldiers. Seems fitting.

If ya live long enough to get there.

Telling them it was a way to show their support for chimphead AND make money...and that it's best they do it while the offer lasts since pretty soon they will be sent over there for free...

Their new recruiting slogan.

Come kill for us we'll give you shit.
