Army

[Disease]

A recruiter is visiting me on Thursday, I want some advice.

What should I ask him about?
What should I look out for? (lies, tricks, etc)
What should I tell him if he doesn't think I'm physically fit enough?

As for the last question, I look really skinny, but I can out last most people whether it be running/push ups/sit ups/etc.


Thanks.

Ask him absolutely anything and everything you're unsure about. There is no simple answer here. If you're going to sign a contract you had better understand what it says; especially when that contract has the potential to be paid in blood. It's the job of your recruiter to answer any uncertainties you may have; use him for what he's there for.

Look out for the too-good-to-be-true's. Recruiters are known for sugar coating the truth because if they didn't they'd never sign a recruit. A common lie recruiters tell is "that MOS is full, choose this one instead." It's common knowledge that recruiters need to push new recruits into the most needed jobs in the Army. Those jobs may not be what you want. And chances are if he's saying it's full, it's not.

And given what you'd said about yourself: he won't tell you you're physically unfit. That might be possible if you were overweight but certainly not if you're within your normal weight range.
