Things have really changed. Not only is the military standing tall again, it is staging a remarkable
comeback in the quantity and quality of the recruits(新兵). Recruits, once denounced by antiwar
students as "baby killers" and barred from (從……掃除)campuses, are welcomed ever at famous
universities. ROTC (美國后備軍官訓(xùn)練隊(duì)) programs that once faltered are flourishing again.
The military academies are enjoying a steady increase in applications.
Certainly, the depressed economy has increased the allure(誘惑) of the jobs, technical training
and generous student loans offered by the military. Students know that if they go in and become,
say, nuclear weapons specialists, they can_come_out_and demand a salary of $60,000 a year.
Military salaries, while not always competitive with those paid for comparable jobs in the private
sector, are more than respectable, especially considering the wide array of benefits that are available:
free medical service, room and board, and PX (Post Exchange) privileges. Monthly pay for a recruit
is $574; for a sergeant with four years' service it is $906; for a major with ten years' service it is
$2,305. The welfare has helped win over the TV generation. Kids are walking down the school
hallways chanting 'Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines' . There is a return to the view that the military
is an honorable profession. The days of a judge telling a miscreant to join the Army or go to jail are
over. Recruiting for all four services combined is running at 101%of authorized goals. And the retention
rate is now so high that the services are refusing some reenlistment applications and reducing annual
recruiting target.
The military academics are also enjoying halcyon years,attracting more and betterqualified students.
Compared to private colleges, where tuition and expenses have been climbing sharply, the service
schools are a real bargain: not only is tuition free, but recruits get allowances of up to $500 a month.
It is reported 12,300 applicants are for the 1,450 positions in this year's freshman class. Military
academies are now just as selective as any of the best universities in the country. Nationwide, ROTC
enrollment exceeds 105,000,a 64% increase over the 1974 figure. In the mid 70's, the ROTC students
refused to wear their uniforms on campus because they suffered all sorts of ridicule, if they did. Now
if they wear them to class no one looks at them twice.
