Even with the expanded distance and quite a few trips back and forth from Germany to North America, the recruiting had actually gone quite well, even better than he could have dreamed of. He had managed to completely fill out not only the 322nd Armored Division and then some, but he had almost a full Regiment of Mechwarriors addition to over a Wing of Aerospace pilots.
