I have never understood the recruiters lie line of thinking. It is up to each individual person to figure this shit out on their own. When you buy a car do you just blindly sign the contract?? How about a house? How about a student loan?
really?
did you forget what country you are in?
we had a recruiter at my school, as sly and greasy as they come.
he recruited a bunch of people i know, and my brother.
he tried everyday to recruit me. im serious, he knew how competitive me and my brother are, and he used that a lot as a tactic.
he was the kind to put the proper amount of pressure and bullshit on his recruits.
before they signed on, he gave them EVERYTHING they wanted. did all kinds of cool shit, got them out of class for a couple of hours to go to lunch and hang out at random places.
gave them 24 hour access to his government car, and gas card.
when it came time to sign, he would not give them the option to have an attorney look over the contract (these werent the smartest guys either, which coincidentally is the type most recruiters prey upon), he made all kinds of promises and guarantees of random shit (including rank and pay upon signing) but wouldnt put it in writing.
he would say that it was already in the contract. which was worded in ways that these regular dumbasses didnt understand and wouldnt know if it were actually in there.
and this one in particular, made it perfectly clear that his contracts were only 4years. no chance of having to stay longer. i remember this, because he told me that everyday he talked to me.
thats only the tip of the iceburg.
how many people do you actually know that take every contract they sign to an attorney to have it looked over?
i know of zero.
