My GF at the time was recruiting in my hometown while I was on extended leave. Used to chop it up at her office while she was going through the motions.Id jump into iran as a pathfinder or do SERE for 3 years straight before I did another tour as a recruiter being a Drill Instructor/Drill Sergeant you can actually get breaks between cycles or get sent to be apart of the receiving cadre little things that take you away from the daily grind.
As a recruiter if you don’t take over an office you’re on the hunt for numbers your entire tour you can’t take leave because well those days you want off might be a day a kid was to talk and if you’re not there he’s going to join another branch and if you do take leave you have to make up that time so it’s a lose lose and even if you’re in charge of a station if your recruiters are struggling you’re looking for people with them AND having the command on your neck about why you’re not meeting goal. Everyday is the same Talk to kids, go to schools and talk to kids, go to MEPS rinse wash and repeat your entire tour shyt is depressing as fukk.
That shyt was so blatantly fugazi she was going from school to school trying to find kids while her coworker was treating that shyt like Tinder. That dude was so openly scummy.... looked like Mario Lopez with a lean addiction. She was trying to figure out how he had the best numbers every quarter only to find out he was recruiting people from the hospital.
Its fukked up but think about it - just had a kid? about to see a huge ass medical bill for your family? got fukked and want to leave the area? Tired of scrubbing floors? Have I got a job for you
