Armed Forces Recruiting Tactics

What a clusterfuck.

In my experience, a Marine Corps recruiter who pulled shit like that* could find his next (and last) duty station being historic Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, making little ones out of big ones, before being awarded a dishonorable discharge.

The * is because I have investigated allegations like that. I was involved in military recruiting at a district headquarters level in the late 70s, before Reagan a) brought pride back to service,

sent the sort of jobs that raw recruit material could qualify for overseas, or both. All of the services had difficulty meeting quotas at the time - from what I'm hearing, it's getting just as ugly today.

In the vast majority of cases where allegations like that were made, the recruiters were usually pushing the edge of acceptable salesmanship - but Johnny or Janey was playing the recruiters off against Ma and Pa too. If I threaten to join up maybel they'll get me that car, let me go to college away instead of locally, blah-blah-blah.

We did have one guy who kept recruiting at the local mental health facility. It took me a year and a half to bust the creep - finally got him when he sent me a pyromaniac who wanted to be a fuel handler on an aircraft carrier.
