Does anyone have a funny (or really bad) military recruiter story to share?

After scoring high on the ASVAB my first service visited was the Army recruiter in Azusa, CA. As he was flipping through the "book of jobs", he stopped on Cook and told me that would be a great career choice for me. Not wanting to be disrespectful, I thanked him and headed across the hall to the Air Force recruiter. As I approached his door, he came out, closed the door and flipped his "out of office sign". He then told me he had a "hot lunch date" and would be back in a couple hours. As I was about to leave the building, the Navy recruiter waved me in and the rest is history. I easily could have been in the Army or Air Force that day.

LCDR Steve Didio ; I had a high ASVAB score too, my recruiter really wanted me to be an MP, no matter what I told him. As I went Reserves, I could've gotten BAH while I went to Basic and AIT, he didn't let me know that, so I gave up my place, and had to get a new one when I got back home, I'm still mad that I didn't that 30 weeks of NYC BAH.

Yeah, that's real money he cost you. Any way to make a back claim for the money considering you were "counseled in error", as they say? Might be too long ago now.
