Default Army Strong

Everyone heard about the new Army campaign? Since I`m a Recruiter(detailed), just like to get peoples opinions on reactions to the new commercial, no poll just like it or don`t, personally I think its a good start.

Of course they dont show the real day to day business of a lower enlisted guy. Dont forget shoveling snow if your at Ft Drum.

It's kind of a gay slogan on it's own, but works very well with the commercial.

I am in the Army and I saw the video in Iraq. It's fairly long, but somewhat motivating.

I concure I didn't know that army of one meant all that. I spent time in the Marines and everything they taught was all about teamwork so when I heard the arm of one slogan I was like WTF?

Army Strong is good but I still like "Be all you can be" but thats just me- A slogan doesn't seem to mean as much when it changes all of the time, what will it be next year?

The first image that came to mind when I heard "Army Strong" was of a big lunk yelling "Army MAD!, Army STRONG!, Army SMASH!" kinda along the lines of Homer Simpson before he turns into the Hulk.

the new slogan is miles ahead of "an army of one" i have a buddy in the Navy and when he was over in the sandbox "Iraq" they would make fun of the Army guys saying "i dont know about you guys and your army of one but us in the Navy like accomplishing things through TEAMWORK!" the new slogan still sucks though but the vid was OK.

be all that you can be is the greatest slogan.

they need post cleanup in the commercial. or just make an MOS for lawn maintenance.

haters......

I guess maybe I`ve been in recruiting too long, forgot all about police calls and motor pools and all the other cruddy jobs you gotta do, still waiting in line to draw weapons for two hours for a company sized element?
