| USMC Overrun By Recruits |

| The U.S. Marine Corps has had more success than expected in attracting recruits, and has moved up the date for completing their current expansion. Last year, Congress ordered the marines to expand their strength from the current 181,000 to 202,000. At first, the marines thought it would take them four years to do it. But between the large number of recruits, and the many current marines who are staying in, the expansion will be accomplished by next year. Obviously all these young men and women thought they were filling out pledge cards at Berkeley's I Felta Thi frat, but since they can't read (per Stephen King) they are now stuck in boot camp. |
