What are some of the craziest stuff heard in a recruiting office?

In light of a recent conversation I would like to know what are some of the best things you have ever heard in a recruiting office.

I recall my recruiter saying to me as I got on the bus to ride from Flint to Detroit to the MEPS. "Boy, those people down there are not priests. You don't confess to nothing! If they can't find it, it doesn't exist!"

But I'm sure things have changed since 1973! :)

All recruiters tell there recruits admit to nothing. Just say no.

Lt McKellar, I've been through there but I don't believe I've seen the school, or remember seeing it.

I believe that was said to me. Practically word for word. That was 1994

i joined in 2000
conversation with recruiter after taking asvab and filling out necessary paperwork.

recruiter: we've got a bus leaving for meps this Friday, I'll get you booked.

me: is there a drug test at meps?

recruiter: oh, so you're saying you need approximately 30 more days to "get your personal things sorted out"?

me: yes, exactly...

recruiter: ok ill see you on June 28th for meps...

I was there with 27 other people. 26 of us decided to do up our last night of freedom right. The last one said we were all going to hell. She was the only one that got sent to a base in hell.

Craziest thing I ever heard? "Travel the world, great pay, 9 to 5 job."

Sure, I've traveled the world, but only to dusty shitholes.
