I'm thankful for my recruiter. He was a disillusioned E-5 in the Navy who hated the bureaucracy and complained about it all the time. He did not lie at all, and, frankly, I think I had a better time when I was in than he did.

But fuck joining. It's a trap and you shouldn't have to do that for a better life as I did.
