"Can you give a psychological clearance for someone who wants to go into the military?" asked the caller, in a crisp, authoritative voice.

Having heard so much about the military's recent recruiting difficulties, I was intrigued. "Sure, assuming the person's okay."

1. Uncle Sam'sDesperation - and a Recruit's
You should have used the published title of the article.

Not just because that is how the rules read on this site, but more DUers would feel compelled to read what is a great, telling article.

Thanks for the post.

Screw that recruiter.
