Without getting into the politics of the Army's current needs - it's 
called desperation. And owning a critical skill that the service sees a 
need for. A friend of my niece just got a $45K re-enlistment bonus as a 
radar guided weapons specialist.

      Title: Pumpkin Pancakes
 Categories: Breads, Squash, Breakfast
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2 c  Mashed cooked pumpkin or
           - winter squash
      2 tb Brown sugar
      1 c  Milk or apple juice
      2    Whole eggs; beaten
    1/2 c  Unbleached white flour
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Salt
           Pn fresh grated nutmeg
      2 tb Chopped fresh chives (opt)
           Vegetable oil or butter
 
  From "Breakfast in Bed: 90 Recipes for Creative Indulgences," by Jesse
  Ziff Cool (HarperCollins, 118 pages, 1997). Top with maple syrup,
  yogurt or sour cream. Or try caramelized onions, bacon bits and creme
  fraiche.
  
  Beat the squash with the brown sugar, milk and eggs until smooth.
  
  In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and
  nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients into the squash mixture just until
  combined. Fold in the chives if using.
  
  Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it
  with vegetable oil. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  
  Drop the batter onto the hot pan by heaping tablespoonfuls. Lightly
  oil a spatula and flatten the pancakes. When they are golden brown on
  the bottom, flip them. As they brown on the other side, transfer them
  to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the
  rest of the batter.
  
  Serves 4
