Why is it that recruiters talk so damn fast? No matter what branch they go at lightening speed. It's the same thing now as it was when I was a senior in high school.
I saw an unrecogniZable number on my mobile....cellphone....and let it go to voice mail. Fortunately, the person left a message:
"Hello this Gunnery Sergent BLAH BLAH with the United States Marine Corps BLAH BLAH I saw you were interested in joining awhile back BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH and I'm new in the area and BLAH BLAH give me a call at XXX-XXX-XXXX"
I swear it sounds like "Gunnery Sergent Hygiene"! I wish I was kidding. I looked the number up and it's from a station an hour away from me! What happen to my first recruiter? I wonder if it's just something where they keep your info in the system for awhile and when a new person comes in they cold call those "open ended people". Funny, when I first submitted my info I got a little letter in the post...mail...with the number and address of a station 30 minutes from me. Then I got the call from "my" recruiter in town.
But seriously, I think all the branches need to tell their recruiters to slow the hell down when on the phone. Because the poor man who rang me today is going to forever be known as GySgt Hygiene.

Haha, mine always talked like that too. I used to hang out in their office a lot and ALL those guys did was make phone calls. All day long, for hours at at time. I guess that's why they talk so fast!
