Be All That You Can Be. George Steinbrenner?
Posted by Heather Hurlburt
Looks like the newly-announced National Guard deployment to Iraq will be the occasion for a new wave of "broken Army" stories, of which Time's cover story is the first but unlikely to be the last.
The new angle here I caught was some internal Army recruitment memos which highlight 1) how hard they must scramble for recruits and 2) how looseness with the truth at the top trickles down over the years into the work of folks like recruiters who are not exactly political appointees.
The documents show Army officers straining to justify new, more expensive inducements for recruits, including comparing Army relocation policies to those employed by Princeton. But here's my personal favorite:
The service paid more than $600 million in retention bonuses in 2006, up from $180 million in 2003. (If that seems excessive, the Army notes in an internal document, "New York Yankees payroll: About $350 million," although it's actually closer to $190 million.)
Now I'm a Red Sox fan by upbringing and a Tigers fan by residence, but even discounting for that: a) what an irrelevant comparison and b) if it's not irrelevant, it's bad. The last time that payroll produced a World Series title was, ahem, 2000, and they haven't even been to the Series since President Bush's first term.
And who ought to need a bigger retention bonus to keep doing what he's doing: someone on his third or fourth tour in Iraq, or Derek Jeter?

Dear George Steinbrenner, my name is Gage Cullen, I am 10 years old and I have a good idea for your A-rod problem and maybe some of your outfield problems. I don't think you should resign him, because you pay him too much money. No player is worth 30 million dollars. You should trade him for a good pitching package. Maybe to the Giants for Barry Zito and a little relief. Mark Burhle of the white sox is an option too. Remember that Jermaine Die is going to become a free agent after this year. Those are my suggestions. Thank you.

Measure out a good length of wire line or Links of London Letters, if the balls are larger, leather or cotton cord. Should be enough to wrap around your neck than 5 inches. If you are using wire, slide a bead embedded in one end and a part of clasp. Pass the cable through the securing of accounts, adjust, and then flatten the Links of London Sale with crimping pliers. Trim the tail of wire. String accounts. If you want a symmetrical pattern, start with the Links of London Pendants and add segments on each side. Add the second part of the hook or, if you are using a snap hook Should silver jewelry be plated? Silver coating can be done with rhodium, white gold, yellow gold and platinum, even. Another thing you should know when to buy silver Links of London online may no longer be done by hand or machine. Of course, pieces of handmade silver are priced much higher than machine-made counterparts because more value is placed on the works of human hands.
