U.S. Army launches pilot program in Vermont to boost recruitment

The Burlington Free Press reports that in hopes of boosting recruitment, the U.S. Army has launched a new pilot program in Vermont called the Army Advantage Fund. Through the program, enlisting soldiers are now "eligible for up to $40,000 toward a new home or business if they enlist for more than five years." The program is currently in "test phase in five markets" and as of February, "39 enlistees nationwide had taken advantage of the program" with most selecting the home ownership option.
