"Rule Number one is: the recruiters will tell you what you want to hear so take it with a grain of salt."

HAHAHA. Rule Number Two: Never forget rule number ONE!
Actually, reserve recruiters aren't nearly as "pressured" as active duty recruiters are. I was a Navy Reserve recruiter for a short while. Even then, most deception perceived by many is a matter of "lie by omission".

Do your homework and ask LOTS of questions, and get any promises in WRITING! Thank you for considering serving your country.

Just so you know, it is the same in public education. I found out from a new teacher who was recruited from back East that the recruiter really played up the LA angle of beaches and vacation hotspots, but failed to mention that San Bernardino was at least an hour away from anything close to that.

A 'lie by omission' if I ever heard one! Thanks for your help.
