Re: Yo! Remington 25-06, why didn\'t you ship off to Army Basic Traini
First off, let me apologigize those who have a sensitive nature. I was wrong to bring to the "General Discussion" section, something of which I have strong feelings about.
I've emailed Remmy off line. I said my peace, explained my side of things to include what I found out, then wished him well.
4ked Horn,
I was a recruiter for almost 16 years. I enlisted 336 people. I know very well the nature, good and bad, of this business. As I stated, joining any branch of the service is a VERY personal decision, of which I care not if an individual decides to enlist or not. My beef was the waste of time, tax payers dollars and distanced driven, of which could have be focused upon someone dedicated to sticking with a decision.
Dog Caller,
If you only knew the REAL bravery of the decision Remmy made. And the recruiter/s who worked with Remmy, yes, they will get paid their salary; then they will have to turn around and continue to work the 70 hour weeks which ruins marriages and careers to find another person who will fill Remmy's vacated position.
ATH,
Forgive me if I'm wrong, is this not the "General Discussion" section? On other sites I frequent, General Discussion usually means topics other than the main theme of the site.
As far as recruits who back out, yes, I've had them. Some were ligite reasons, most were bogus and apathetic. Based upon what I learned, I feel Remmy made a decent decision. It could have gone either way. And, you're correct, I'd rather spend my time and energy on someone who wants to enlist and stick to their decision.
I've said my peace.
Apoligies to all.
Big Al
