Snip: <The Pentagon on Wednesday postponed by more than a week the release
of military recruiting figures for May, as the Army and Marine Corps
struggle to attract new troops amid the Iraq war.

The military services had routinely provided most recruiting
statistics for a given month on the first business day of the next
month.

Air Force Lt. Col. Ellen Krenke, a Pentagon spokeswoman, said the
May numbers for the active-duty and reserve components of the all-
volunteer military will be released on June 10.

"Military recruiting is instrumental to our readiness and merits the
earliest release of data. But at the same time, this information
must be reasonably scrutinized and explained to the public, which
deserves the fullest insight into military performance in this
important area," Krenke said.>
