Barely a third of military families would recommend a career in uniform, says the latest survey to highlight problems at the Pentagon.
Back in 2016, more than half of them spoke highly of a military career.
They said life was getting worse because military spouses could not get jobs, health services were poor, and housing was shabby.
That’s according to a survey of more than 7,400 personnel for Blue Star Families, a nonprofit.
It comes amid a crisis in military recruitment, which saw the Army fall 15,000 short of its 65,000 enlistment goal for the last financial year.
