Millennials: The Army's Perspective 

DateMonday, March 22, 2010 at 10:34AM

Check out this NPR piece when you get a second to do so:

New Basic Training Hardens 'Softer Generation'

In the piece, NPR host Scott Simon discusses the Millennial Generation with Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, Deputy Commanding General for Initial Military Training, who is faced with the task of adapting military training to the generation.

Lt. Gen. Hertling explains:

"We are seeing a decline across the board in America," he says. "This isn't a decline in our recruits; this is a decline in our American society in terms of their physical capacity. It's just a softer generation."

The piece goes on:

"They're different. They have a technology edge. I think they're smarter than any generation we've ever had before," he says. "They certainly ask a lot more difficult questions."

They have loyalty, Hertling says, but he thinks the most important thing about this generation is that they want to change the world. "They want to contribute to something that's bigger than themselves."

"I think they're magnificent."

This is known that money makes people disembarrass. But what to do if someone doesn't have cash? The only one way is to get the business loans and just student loan.

When it comes to dumbbells, forget light and pink. "Ciara can load up the squat bar with more weight than half the guys you'd normally see in the gym," said celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson. Weights won't make you bulk up; you'll get replicahandbags Omega Watches smaller, since muscle is more compact than fat. Maybe it's Louis Vuitton Handbags because they're young and Hermes Handbags Juicy Couture genetically blessed, but Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart say Replica Watches they don't hit the gym Cheap Handbags at Gucci Handbags all, ever, replica handbags period. We still love you, girls.
