I am a Father of One
Back in the days when I was soul searching, the Army's motto was "We do more before 9:00am than most people do all day." While this is certainly true (for teenagers, at least) I don't think it inspires people to join. The new motto is "An Army of One." I'm not sure what that means, but it's pleasantly vague and leaves younglings with the subliminal feeling that somehow each individual in an Army is important. Now they're short by about 8,000 Armies of One.
I became curious if the Army's recruitment problems come from kids fearing for their lives, or if it's just bad marketing I've come up with my own set of slogans for fatherhood to see if I can affect the numbers of those convinced to compete in the gamete uni-athalon.
1) We do more before the wife and kids wake up than we could even dream about doing after.
2) You, too can be a FATHER OF ONE. There are over 52 ways become a father of one, just look at this deck of cards...
3) Aim High; there's nothing dangerous below 2 feet in this house
4) The Few. The Gluttonous.
Pay attention folks, the birth rate is about to change
