Dont listen to anything the recruiter tells you. They lie ALL the time. I had a friend that told me what they do. They have a quota on how many people they recruit so they will lie to you all the time. If you talk with them over the phone they have some kind of sheet that when you ask then X=question they will answer Y=lie to make you feel better about joining. Then once your IN the army you'll find out how ****ty its gonna be and how the recruiter lied to you. Why do you think recruiters go out of their way just to try to make someone join?
