Yes, the military is overextended and “undermanned” in critical areas. I know for certain we are short about 2000 pilots and 3500 air traffic controllers in the USAF, but every branch and complex job is hurting for qualified people.
This was actually the first time in about 8 years they made recruiting goals. The only issue is they had an abundance for the lower end jobs and much less for the higher intelect enlisted jobs. I think the one exception is the Marines, they usually make their metrics.
