U.S. Air Force taking recruitment efforts to new heights thanks to Hollywood

As the nation still fights its way out of the pandemic, many industries are still finding it hard to hire.

The same can be said for the U.S. Air Force.

The Air Force is facing it's lowest recruitment numbers since 1999.

The military branch officials said this shift happened around March 2020 — the same time COVID-19 shut down many businesses.

It also closed down many schools, making it hard for Air Force recruiters to reach out to many teens.
