If they wish to go to a recruiting office and sign up, all the more power to them.

You'd be shocked how few recruits actually actively seek out recruiters. For many it's an option they've never before considered. It takes an approach by a recruiter to get them thinking in that direction.

Good afternoon.

Two weeks after I graduated from high school in 1966 I went to the Marine recruiter and found that the guy had stepped out. The Army recruiter had a big poster of a paratrooper in his window and he was in. He promised me Airborne, Light Weapons Infantry and Vietnam.

They tried to make me a clerk and they sent me to Alaska after jump school. I talked my way into an 11B10 MOS and took a short as for Nam as soon as I had been in a year.

Today there are men and women who are losing limbs who are asking that they be allowed to return to their units. We are still producing good Americans despite their moms attempt to turn them into leftist wusses.

Happy Birthday USA
