Military Recruitment SNAFU


For John, BLUFLife is tough, it is tougher if the bureaucracy is in charge.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



No good deed goes unpunished.

The Department of Defense started, in 2008, a recruitment program for undocumented immigrants with special skills.  This is "Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest" (MAVNI).  The DoD tried to expand the program to include young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children, shielded from deportation via an Obama Administration program known as DACA.  Now the bureaucracy has ground to a halt trying to figure out the criteria for recruitment.

An article in Politico looks at this mess.

Please be forthright, but please consider that this is not a barracks.
