Ahh, Recruiters

I did have sympathy for those guys, at times.  Especially during the dreaded FMAM.  February, March, April, and May, when making mission was difficult at best.   One SSgt I knew from RS Philly said that was benches and grates time, as in that is where you got your poolees, off park benches and steam grates. …

I did have sympathy for those guys, at times.  Especially during the dreaded FMAM.  February, March, April, and May, when making mission was difficult at best.   One SSgt I knew from RS Philly said that was benches and grates time, as in that is where you got your poolees, off park benches and steam grates.  Judging by the recruits who showed up at the island from those months, I had to wonder sometimes if he wasn't serious.

Our gracious host was once in the body-snatcher bidness, albeit not for the World's Finest Fighting Force, but I am sure he still can appreciate.  

 

URR here.  Stole the pic from CT

    As a drill I would cuss recruiters for the crap they would send me, then got assigned to recruiting and realized that in most cases the recruiter did not have a choice. If some dud could pass the test and physical you had to ship. Had a kid come in the station, he was a Bachelor of Science graduate from Rutgers and had me all excited over the prospect of a Cat 1. He scored a “4” on ASVAB. I physically threw him out of my office.

    Terry, a BS grad doesn’t really mean much. You can get a BS in English. That just means you’ve taken a bit of what I call “conceptual science” and a bit of math, often Statistics, and the Science is often “Sosh” (Sociology, which isn’t really a science the way it’s taught). There are a ton of duds out there with A BS. You just scratched the surface, and he was there probably because he couldn’t find anything else.
