Things happen for a reason Tommy.
PowerJim - I wasn't doubting your story....just FYI. I just knew that their were rules against certain strategies of recruiting in the US. Here, even at 17, you have to have parental consent to sign up. But I do stick to my earlier comments on glamourizing vs. telling a negative story. No one would do that. When you go to a job interview they prop up the company, but never tell that their health ins sucks, their 401k plan is in the dumps, and the building is infested with asbestos. LOL.

I decided to join the Marines, but I lied about my medical history (I have blood disorder), they quickly found out and denied my entrance.
I then tried to become a Sheriff for the state of California, same deal as above. I lied on my application and they found out and I was ineligable based on medical issues.
Fvckers both lost out on a good soldier and recruit, but in the end I am not upset I wasnt let in, perhaps am happy I wasnt in alot of ways.
