I support the WOT and send packages weekly to deployed troops. But I have a problem with the Army's recruiting adverts on TV.
The ads place emphasis on your secondary MOS - the stuff you learn after Basic Training - like water treatment, computers, engineering, etc.
What the ads don't tell these young people is that when you pass Basic, you're classed as an 11-B, an "eleven-bravo". You're an infantryman, trained to use a rifle.
So when the Army needs riflemen to patrol, you're it.
This comes as a big shock to people who joined the Army to earn money for college.

Probably his cousin on both sides of the family. "Hey, how do you shut this thing off, anyway?"

My recruiter lied to me. He said I could be an 11 Bravo and shoot things... and I'm stuck here working on high-tech computers...
