As a parent of a twenty-one year old (twenty-two in nine days), I have watched a steady stream of her peers graduate high school, then enlist in a branch of the armed forces. Central Pennsylvania residents have a deep connection to our present and past military.
The average recruit comes from a community that is slightly less densely populated than average for the United States. There is some under-representation of youth from most urban areas of our country in the enlisted ranks. The enlisted Army recruit population is skewed more toward rural and suburban areas than is the total population of 17-24 year old youth in the United States." 1
Pennsylvania is one of the states with the highest recruitments.
