[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 122318, member: 198"] My recruiter had guys come in his office that had already been to the Navy recruiter and were just "shopping around". He had a pretty cool way of talking them out of joining the Navy. He'd take them to a section of the office that didn't have much furniture and had allot of wide open floor space. He'd throw a pen on the floor and out in the middle of that open space. He'd tell the guy "That is your ship that you've been on for 5 months. It is days from the closest port and you just completed a 12 hour shift doing any number of crappy jobs. Since you are off duty now where are you going to go?" Then he'd say "Ok now it's the weekend and you want to get loose and go party. Where are you going to go?" If that didn't convince them that life at Sea in the Navy didn't suck then he'd tell them about "O Country." O is for Officer. On some ships enlised personel can get in SERIOUS trouble for entering O Country. He would tell them that in the Navy you will be good enough to fix the Officers' planes, fix their computers, do air traffic control, etc. but not good enough to eat with them. [/QUOTE]
