Instead, he told me I was going to get a year long vacation, on the ocean in California, with a very easy schedule, and then a job where I could pretty much pick my duty. And he didn't even lie. When I got to the Presidio of Monterey right out of Basic, I was in shock for a little while. First formation was at 7:30, then school until 3:30, PT in the afternoons, unless you played a sport, then you were exempt. But even if you weren't exempt, PT consisted of running on the beach. No TA 50 issue, 2 hour lunches on Thursdays, freaking awesome. Every morning, I opened the curtains of my single barracks room to a $1,000 view across Monterey Bay. It was sort of downhill after I left there until I got overseas, but he really didn't tell me a single lie.
I have never lied to an applicant and I never will.
recruiter told me I was applying for Surgeon General. All I had to do was sign a couple forms and I'd be a shoe-in.
Then he said some other stuff, but I wasn't paying attention. All I could dream about was being the chief dick doctor of the entire United States.
You do realize the surgeon general isn't a real general don't you?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
