Local recruiter told me his biggest problem is finding kids that can pass the asvab.

NIFE stud I talked to said that one of new OHARP duties (or TDY while you're on it) is going to Great Lakes and teaching basic reading/writing and math.
Some recruits are coming to basic unable to do what sounded like 2nd or 3rd grade reading comprehension and math. They push anyone who failed those portions of the ASVAB through a week of indoc and then send them to the class for 2 weeks and they re-test. A second (maybe third cycle IIRC) until the pass. After 3 cycles if they can't pass they're gone.
Good number of Ensigns or 2nd LTs walking around NASC with nothing but a NAM on their uniforms for teaching boots how to read and count for 8-10 weeks.
Good news from recruiting: the Army met a higher requirement (61,000) than last year (55,000) - and achieved that elevated number four months earlier.
You can get a NAM for that? Did you tell @mad dog ?

He bowls overhand.
That's standard NETC guidance for all training.
Definitely a good thing, guessing news like this might be part of the reason
Really, that’s always the reason recruiting is up or down.
Traditionally that is true, but considering the declining trust in the military that may not be as accurate today.
Interesting article from The New Yorker.
Great article. Solid journalism.
