1LT (Join to see) This is something I heard from my former students that joined the military. They said they were promised MOS XXXX but ended up as a XXXX. Recruiters promise anything to get the prospective recruit to sign but then they vanish like a fart in the wind. These students tell their peers not to join. This isn't all of the problem but it is an issue. And when they ask me I tell them the truth. I was promised aviation electronics (the recruiter said I had the scores for it) but ended up as a combat engineer. Being a dumb trusting seventeen year old who didn't know better I didn't get it in writing. I did my time and exited and went to school to get my electronics degree.

One fact remains and that is most American civilians live in a "bubble" everything around them surounds them but doesn't confound them

Concerning at so many levels. IMNSHO, serving in the peacetime military is not fun. Too much chickenshit activities and irritants.

Agreed. But, all the more reason for combat veterans to remain in, someone has to keep the ship on course and ready for the next fight. How many lives are worth failure in the first battle of our next engagement?
