I wonder if these recruits will think it’s “pretty neat, man” when they are forced to have a chip implanted under their skin?
The military should go back to hand-written signatures.
The day I processed out of the Army (Jan-72) I was one of the first guys to show up first thing in the morning because I wanted to get out of there fast since I had managed to book a plane reservation home early that afternoon. Within about an hour (by then the processing center was filled to the max) they called my name, handed me the prepared documents and told me to read them over and make sure all the info was correct.
Unfortunately I discovered the knucklehead who typed up the papers had misspelled my name so they told me to "have a seat". I had that damn seat till approx. 3 that afternoon, missed my flight and missed the chance to say good bye to all my buddies who were able to process out early that morning......
I would have given my right thumb to have today's computer technology available back then........
