...Ever since the draft was discontinued in 1973 the United States has had an all volunteer military. This implies that the military goes out of their way,constantly attempting to recruit more volunteers to enlist and join the military family. Having to recruit takes crucial time and effort which our military is willing to invest in those who are prepared to take the next step in life.

During my time in the US Army I have had the chance to serve as a recruiter and currently as an Army Reserve career counselor, in both jobs I have had to do some form of recruiting either as a traditional recruiter or by trying to recruit Soldiers in the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) to rejoining Troop Program Units (TPU). These jobs are rewarding but highly stressful. As a recruiter I was on a mission usually of having to recruit six people per month as an Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) or Army Reserve Recruiter, this was actually six times the mission of my active duty counterparts and in many occasion I was the only reserve recruiter in my recruiting station. During my time in recruiting there were many rumors about the lack of ethics within the Army Recruiting Command, such as recruiters forging documents, concealing law or medical issues, and even having sexual relationships with potential recruits or their parents to get them to join. This has been a stigma of recruiters for as long as I can remember even when I was recruited in 1987 my parents, teachers and friends...
