OK time to PLAY my FAVORITE game

Sorry its been so long since ive blogged, no real good excuse just got lazy i guess. I think the good old hard workers of USAREC (recruiters, and some SC's) need some real motovation, not the false kind like the BS they spew down our throats like (your doing a great service for your country) BS if you wanted me to do the great service you speak of you then in turn wouldnt put convicted felons in boots. No matter what. Look at the stats of the army over the years as recruiting has been getting harder and harder, RAPES, MURDERS, GANGS, SOLDIERS ROBBING SOLDIERS, ABUSE, DRUGS. You name it, it has rose to a ridiculous number, and those are only the one that actually get reported, for one reason or another. I pissed my SC off something feirce yesterday when he told me to simply not run checks in a paticular city and just pretend the applicant never said he had law there. The self admitted charges were : assualt x3, assualt with a deadly weapon, residental burglry x4, hit amd run of a pedestrain, gang violence, possesion of illegal firearms/transport with intent to sell. and thats just what i can remember.
fuk him i aint even gunna try to put him in the army, i handed the packet to my sc and said go ahead and u put him in and ill take and run those checks and have u have a damn dep loss.
he replied fine get me someone else for my processing list to floor tuesday. FUCK HIM, I dont have anyone that has been able to pass the dam test or have the ability to talk to me and not fuckin lie about every thing.

I AM OFFICIALY DOCUMENTING EVERY CONVERSATION THAT TAKES PLACE IN MY LIFE IN USAREC BOTH WRITTEN AND RECORDED, I KNOW I WONT WIN BUT ILL TAKE SOMEONE DOWN WITH ME, WHEN THE TIMING RIGHT. I HOPE SOMEONE HIGH UP READS THIS SHIT IM GOING ALL THE WAY TO YOU MR. USAREC MAFIA MFER I WILL NOT CHANGE MY BELIEFS TO KEEP GOOD SOLDIERS SAFE TO MAKE SOME BS ASS MISSION AND MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD BY BEING A DAMN PRICK, IT AINT WORTH IT, SEND ME TO KOREA, IRAQ AFGAN, NORTH DAMN DAKOTA, ALASKA, WITH OR WITH OUT MY WIFE I DONT CARE. I WILL BRING HOPE TO THOSE YOU HAVE FORCED TO DO THESE THINGS THAT HAVE MORE TO LOOSE THAN I.

Steve Harvey, 1000 Old Gold Badgers, 20k bonus, The Prodigy Child

Ive heard some good army recruiting ad's in my day, from the Be All You Can Be, Army of One, and Army Strong slogans, to inspiring Reserve Comercials and Posters. But lets face it The Few and the Proud, for the Marines was always the strongest and best. But low and behold while driving a prospect to the office Steve Harvey was on the Radio, his speach, words and comments said more in the 3 minutes of air time then I could have in a 2 hour interview to this kid, and me..... whoever made him a COI is one lucky SOB. If you havent heard it try to find it, and use it on a CD, Tape, IPOD or even 8 track, IT WORKED ONCE never know it could work again....



1000 old recruiters coming out here... those poor poor soldiers, they didnt convert for a reason and now they gotta come back, then go and prolly deploy.. I guess they higher powers want to completly dry out every city in the states of anyone able bodied enough to join in a matter of 90 days. not to mention the 20k bonus for anyone willing to leave before aug 27... if that doesnt get em in i dont know what will..



Now about my last post... apparently someone read that and sent me a fuking prodigy. he looked omis when he walked in, dark black slacks, plad shirt long sleeves(80 deg weather here) full long beard, and hair.. he spoke like someone who had never met anyone new before in his life. he wants MI and nothing else.. so im thinkin not a chance in hell, but im not gunna judge this book by its cover, been wrong before. this whole time he has this folder in his hand and wont let go of it? I EST him, and 10 minutes later he comes out of the room and sits down, not a word is said by him. So I walk back and check the score. Guess what I SHIT MYSELF AGAIN. PERFECT FUKING SCORE.... I walk out and into my SC office just to show him so he wont think ive lost my rocker.. to make a long story shorter.. i did get to look at that folder. hes 19yo graduated HS when he was 14, has a BACH from Il State, his dad was some high rankin navel officer in the nuke program. back in the 70-80's . Im down with encouraging most people to join a service, but i wanted to hit this kid upside his obviously very dense and valuable Brain. But if i did im sure my SC, 1SG, CO, CSM, BN CO, USAREC CMDR, would all join in as they burned me on a stake. Fuk it ill put my morals aside and put em in boots.

O How the Turn Table Turns

Sometimes I ask myself. why, why why why... Ive gone from 3 possibles for Active Army to 1 going army reserve. All because the American education system has failed the next generation. This one kid is a member of the national honor society, 4.0 + GPA 20 plus on the ACT, youth group leader, model UN cheif. Has a great personality, well spoken, and is actually clean ( thats a rarety around here ) The whole time throughout the appointment Im thinking to myself dam he might be OCS material. He wants to be a doctor, but his family has a military backround and wants to go that route. Im all for it naturally. I give him the EST.. and

I SHIT MYSELF. Literally. I felt like fukin fainting, and pissing on all his teachers from k-11 grade.

AN 18. Its official.. the only way for anyone around here to join is for them to score just above 31. the highest ive seen so far.. (granted it hasnt bee that long but it is an 8th grade test) 53 naturally though hes a fat ass living at home sucking life out of his parents cuz he wont go get a job and actually make himself usefull to society, and get from off his ass and loss some weight.

Anyway Im sure its all my fault. I suck, beacause this town has a shit ass education system. I suck because kids love X-BOX and PS3, and wieght 240LBS, I suck becuase no one can graduate HS, I suck becuase they al love the dope.

O well i got one AR for next week so far.. at least its something. no one else has anything other than one so far too. so maybe we will all have a low producer luncheon or something.....

Im on numbers

Well starting monday i go on numbers, and get all the hell and fire that goes along with that now. I have yet to put anyone in boots. Thats not a good thing, I got an email today from my 1SG saying "theres a new recruiter in this company thats been here for only a week and has a contract, why dont you yet?" What I wanted to reply was I just got off from 10day PTDY, dont have my phone, puter or bussiness cards yet, and if i wasnt spending an hour a day on my freaking planning guide, and shotguning the other recruiters out on P3, and calling from the same list over and over again because my SC has only given me a grad list for one HS, I might have had the chance to do so. But instead it read "Im doing my very best with what tools i have at my disposal, Ill meet my mission for the next RCM."

I have 2 maybe 3 lined up allready for this RCM, only problem is they are all GED, heaven strike me down if they close those slots. hell they'll strike down our whole station, ive only talked to one guy on the streets here that actually graduated from HS. 1 kid needs to loose about 3% BF he better freaking loose it too hes the only one that ested above 51. Another god help me will pass his GED test next week and be golden. Im going to get smited, SMITED HARD i know it. Hopefully some more will fall my way early next week and make my month a lil easier..

Time will tell...

Till then remember BE ALL YOU CAN BE, o and Be ARMY STRONG too..

Oddly Shocked!

Spent a few days in the office now. Long nights, sore ear, empty belly. But I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. I made a handfull of apointments, and conducted a few too. One wants to go reserve, which my SC doesnt like to much, but honestly I dont give a rats ass, if thats how the young lady wants to serve her country then so be it, better than all the other cowards out there living in there roach infested trailers complaining, and protesting every chance they get. Another wants to do the army thing and EST'd fairly decent, no law(suprising after meeting this kid) and only minor health issue's. Hes a shoe in FOR NOW. as SFC B would say.. Dont smite me recruiting God's. Im looking to Floor him in a few and land my first contract.

Im not minding sitting in the office late these past few days, wife's not here yet, House hold goods arnt here, so what do i have to look forward to when i get home. O wait.. Actually being able to smoke... Yes I am a chain smoker its a nasty disgusting habit, but damnt if I dont love it all the same.

I appreaciate the comments made and advice SFC gave me about this blog..

Have a Nice Day.....
BE ALL YOU CAN BE.... Not "an army of one" or "army strong"

New Guy in Town

I got this idea from another DA recruiter whos blog I read in its entirety while I was in Rec School. God he talks about the Astros to much.. Goo Tigers/Bears
My first day as a US Army recruiter, hmm well not quite what I had expected. The other soldiers seem friendly but i somehow get the feeling that they dont like me too much. O well thats there problem not mine. Theres only one person that I need to keep happy and thats my wife. Alot of people have told me that there are lots of threats thown done at young recruiters. I say come and get me. Dont get me wrong I love the army, but there is no man that can tell me he is better than me, and damn sure better not think he can hold it over my head. I will keep my nose clean and give them everything they ask for that is possible. If i roll a donut, so what, they yell, threaten and raise thier blood pressure. Notice I said "thier", if there gunna get all worked up and die young from that vien thats about to burst through thier forehead it aint my problem. Anywho..... Im in Shithole town USA, did some house hunting.. OMFG The things that people will try to sell you now adays, Half of them should be condemed let alone trying to rent them out for 6-900$ F me. Hopefully better luck tommarow.
