"DoD Announces Recruiting and Retention Numbers for 2005"

and replace the "2005" with whatever year you want. You'll get a bunch of these monthly releases.

this one has a recap of FY 2004:

Fiscal Year-to-date Summary

Fiscal 2005 Active Duty Enlisted Recruiting from Oct. 1, 2004-Sept. 30, 2005

.................Accessions...Goal.....Percent
Army.................73,373...80,000.....92
Navy.................37,703...37,635....100
Marine Corps.........32,961...32,917....100
Air Force.............9,222...18,900....102
Total...............163,259...169,452....96

so for that period the Army's goal was 6667/month, and they missed it.

now they are seeking 9600/month and beating it
