2023-06-12 04:06:09 US military offers legal migrants path to citizenship amid recruiting shortfall.

The military has had success in recruiting legal immigrants, particularly among those seeking a job, education benefits and training as well as a quick route to becoming an American citizen.

Both the Army and the Air Force say they will not meet their recruiting goals this year, and the Navy also expects to fall short.

The Marine Corp is the only service on pace to meet its goal.

Defense leaders say young people are less familiar with the military, are drawn more to corporate jobs that provide similar education and other benefits, and want to avoid the risk of injury and death that service in defense of the United States could bring.

In addition, they say that little more than 20% meet the physical, mental and character requirements to join.

2023-06-12 04:05:59 — New York Post: US military offers legal migrants path to citizenship amid recruiting shortfall
— "When Esmita Spudes Bidari was a young girl in Nepal, she dreamed of being in the military, but that wasn’t a real option in her country.

Last week, she raised her right hand and took the oath to join the US Army Reserves, thanks in part to a recruiter in Dallas who also is Nepalese and reached out to her through an online group.

Bidari, who heads to basic training in August, is just the latest in a growing number of legal migrants enlisting in the US military as it more aggressively seeks out immigrants, offering a fast track to citizenship to those who sign up.

Struggling to overcome recruiting shortfalls, the Army and the Air Force have bolstered their marketing to entice legal residents to enlist, putting out pamphlets, working social media and broadening their outreach, particularly in inner cities."

Taiwan's air force scrambled into action on Sunday after spotting 10 Chinese warplanes crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan's defense ministry said that on Sunday it had detected 24 Chinese air force planes, including J-10, J-11, J-16 and Su-30 fighters, as well as H-6 bombers.

This is the second time in less than a week that Taiwan has reported renewed Chinese military activity, after 37 Chinese military aircraft on Thursday flew into the island's air defense zone.
