Man American recruiters are way different from there British counterparts, I saw a poster in collage that said join the TA be the best... came to the summer and I said fuck it chose a unit that sounded fun, showed up at the gate on the night I was told to and this was how it weant down:
Me: Hey dude, I'm here to sign up...
Gate Guard: No your not.
Me: Err.. I think I am Tuesday 7pm right?
Gate Guard: Do I look like a calendar or a fucking clock to you?
Me: Listen are you taking sign up's or not?
Gate Guard: Yea we are but I don't like your face.
Me: Fuck you.
*Guard busts out laughing*
Gate Guard: Cocky little shit arnt ya, I'm telling you you don't want to be a STAB, take it from me you don't want this, but seeing as your so determined I'll let you in.
A few years later I understood what he meant, and he was also a prity blunt guy but rather cool when you got to know him he was a ex-reg who demobb an joined the TA not long after because it was better than he was getting off the dole.
