let me guess, you were a recruiter.
No, I don't believe in selling something that I don't believe in myself. As I said before, I believe in my country and what it is supposed to stand for but not what it has become. I could not in good conscience recruit someone into a system that I felt was broken.
While I was in the guard, us squad and team leaders were all called to a meeting with the first sergeant demanding that we bring in a recruiting lead for every single drill or we'd be taken out of our leadership positions. I was an e4 team leader. As soon as the meeting was over, I told my first sergeant to take me out of my team leader position and I was not bringing in any leads. He acted shocked. He told me that I'd have to write up a letter for him to send to state telling them that I didn't want to be promoted. I wrote it and signed it gladly.
We had a douchebag full time recruiter who was paid to recruit. I wasn't about to do his job for him and I couldn't recruit someone I knew only to have them pissed at me because they didn't like it and were stuck.
