Nothing in this blog has the endorsement of USAREC, US Army, DoD, NSA, CIA, FBI, ENTNAC, USSS, or any other agency, past or present.The Army Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12411312583609299220noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5719151093566418416.post-57700358396858690022007-01-25T19:13:00.001-08:002007-01-25T19:52:38.896-08:00Welcome.... This is my first blog<br /><br />hopefully there will be many more entries but for now this is the first<br /><br />I have spent the last hour or so reading some of the blog entries using the search term "Army Recruiters"... what I found was disturbing... there are several blogs that say recruiters lie. Unfortunately that is true to a point. <strong><em>SOME recruiters do lie. </em></strong>Does that mean <strong><em>all </em></strong>recruiters lie? No, it doesn't. But that is not what upsets me the most. What does is that most of those blogs are from people that heard from a friend , whose next door neighbor had a brother that was married to a lady that had a grandfather that lived next door to this kid that tried to join, and <strong>HE</strong> said that the recruiter lied because that is not the way it was done during the Great Napoleonic wars, when he joined.<br /><br />I understand that things change, and I am a CAT IV from Mississippi, why can't other people? I have been recruiting now for over three years. In just those short three years recruiting has changed. The maximum Cash Enlistment Bonus has gone from $20,000 to $40,000, the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">MGIB</span> and the Army College Fund now maxes out at over $71,000. GED holders can now have waivers to enlist. The changes go on and on.<br /><br />I Guess what I am trying to say is; Unless you are in the Army right now as an Army Recruiter then stop saying " they lied to you son!" Do some research, go talk to a recruiter. Don't be Rude, though, remember respectful questions will get you answers, Rude <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">interrogation</span> will get you bounced!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5719151093566418416-5770035839685869002?l=armyrecruiterthoughts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Army Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12411312583609299220noreply@blogger.com10
