Contact. Wait out. #19. Recruiters. Managing expectations.


Contact. Wait out. #19. Recruiters. Managing expectations.

Recruiters get to see a very varied cross-section of society. Most of the candidates are fine but some make you raise an eyebrow. Youngsters are the worst. Many of them are playing CoD and Battlefield many years before they're allowed to and most of them have a more in depth knowledge of weapons than your average squaddie.

The book says that you stay professional and tow the party line but the temptation to fuel their misguided enthusiasm is always there. Sniffer donkeys searching for IEDs in Afghan?
