"Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight. When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American."

Its all fun and games. i'm always supprised as to how many kids think of this stigma when it comes to the military, not just the army, but all the branches. one kid wants to go into construction. i told him we would pay him to learn a construction job for us and give him a ton of benifits. but he just blew me off. shit i didnt know that getting at least 37K for college, 15k cash bonus, free insurance (both life and health), and 30 days paid vacation a year was something to just blow off. what was I thinking. 50 thousand dollars easy in benifits your first year alone.

anyways, it was an emotional day. i managed to make some appointments with people that are interested in the army. that was a good thing. it was crazy at the office. there was a ship day lose with another recruiter that our station commander didnt even know about. my recruite today left for MEPS, they have an awsome job with the army, they are going to be a blackhawk mechanic. i've heard that they make like 60 to 70 thousand dollars coming out of the army.

my girlfriend is in bad shape. work is coming down hard on her. shes in sales, and shes got to type up her sales, prepare a presentation, and had a 5 hour meeting. there are just not enough hours in the day for her to finish everything. especially when she has two awsome kids at home. they are so cool. anyways it will be done.

day one

i dont like spell check or using the shift key unless its something i have to do. if it was really that important it would just happen. anyways i guess i should tell a little about my self but that could violate some stupid rule. i'm a little bitter. i've been an army recruiter for a while. a while is like a year and a half. i'm just over the half way mark of my tour and enlistment this term. i dont plan on reenlisting. and for any stupid punk or dumb ass out their its not because i have the army or nothing like that. i just never planed on making a life out of it. its been awsome since i've been in, all but this stop in recruiting land. i have had the worst time here. i liked invading iraq better than calling your dumb.. let me repeate... DUMB ass kids. yeah the ones that hang up on me or want to goto college and are miss guided or lost in life. and will just drop out before they get to their second year and then move back in with mommy and daddy, mooch off them and get some shitty job. and say they are saving up to go back to college. i in my desk job armed with my handy weapon (the phone), try and talk these kids in to joining the military. i say if you aint doing shit with your life. do something with your life. i dont not want people to goto college (i think double neg. are cool). in fact i think that the college are so corrupt, just like tobacco and oil. that everyone has to goto college. even though only 25% of the jobs require college. brain wash you say. the military teaches confidance in yourself and others around you. until i came out here to recruiting, i had forgotten what a hole in the world the geneal public was. ok.. that may be a little uncalled for. but i'm just venting right. sure.

just go out into life. go out there and kick some ass at what ever it is you do. dont let america stay anywhere but in 1st place. we must reclaim our glory or be just a foot note in history for inventing a silly bomb or something like that.

as for USAREC. thats the part of the army i work for. SUCK MY BALLS. if you havent recruited in the last 3 years. come back out here on mission and pull your pubes out with fire ants. dont tell me i need to work on anything when you didnt teach anything. i slept through your damned recruiting school after they told me that my boss would tell me to forget everything i learned there. and i have only rolled one "nut." thats when you dont put anypeople in the army for a month. my biggest gripe is that if they dont get a 31 QT but have qualifing line scores.. who cares. let them do something for their country. give them a life. and something they can be proud enough about they will tell their grandkids about.

fuck man.. lets get with the program america.
