Abstract:

Effective 18 January 2006 the United States Army launched a program to assist the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) with making the FY 06 recruiting numbers. The Army Recruiting Referral Bonus Program pays Soldiers $1000.00 for referrals entered through the Sergeant Major of the Army Recruiting Team (SMART) Program database located athttps://www.usarec.anny.mil/smart/. The program did assist USAREC with making the FY 06 recruiting goals, but to what price to the budget and what price to Soldiers morals. I am not saying that this program is a total ethical problem but there are ethical problems that could come up in the future that must be addressed and the possible solutions to correct these ethical problems considered. USAREC does not need more ethical problems in the press.
