Trainees complete the sand hill obstacle course
The US Army fell 10,000 short of its recruiting goals in 2023.
  • Some Gen Z recruits in the US Army are sharing their discontent for the job on social media. 
  • They're complaining about the pay, food, and lack of privacy.
  • Meanwhile, the Army fell short of its hiring goals again this year.

The US Army has been struggling to recruit soldiers in recent years — and it might be because some of its youngest hires are discouraging their peers from signing up by sharing stories of low pay and poor food on TikTok.
