Armed Services Meet June Recruiting Goals

The Army surpassed its recruiting goal for June, the Pentagon said yesterday, marking the 13th consecutive month the service met or exceeded its target.

The Navy met its goal and Air Force and Marine Corps exceeded theirs slightly, according to Defense Department statistics.

The reserve and National Guard components of the services also met or exceeded their recruiting goals in June except for the Navy Reserve, which recruited 95 percent of its target.

Whew, all done. It's in the Washington Brief filler column, bottom of A6, right below the longer, more riveting Call-Center Responses On Medicare Faulted.

Violence Flares in Divided Baghdad, A1, above the fold.

Capital Charges Filed In Rape-Slaying Case, A13, maybe 24 column inches, major play.
