Any recruiter that cold approaches me can fuck off
If that recruiter is trying to get me to kill people they need to fuck all the way off into the sea
For 35k...
When I first read it I thought it was 35k a year til I realized that was the signing bonus
Way too low either way.
When I was 18 I had a Marine recruiter chase me down the street.
I was 18 when 9/11 happened. The recruiters would hang around GameStop looking for ~~suckers~~ recruits who were playing the demo consoles they had up. And usually start the conversation with "I wasn't here to recruit, but . . . "
But they actually were.
So my parents tax dollars are wasted on you just standing here?
Being a customer to GameStop, yes.
the army recruiters worked across the street from me, and i was underage sweepin a lot. they were barely older than me. foulmouthedness had some effect. never saw them again.
I just told them I wanted to sell drugs. Problem solved.
