text: idontknow has a pretty low opinion of people who sign up for military service, seems that idontknow thinks you may not have figured out that our military is deployable by now.  Your recruiter (if he did his job) answered all of your questions, told you about programs that you may be qualified for and helped you make an informed decision.  \n\nWhat he didn't tell you is what you didn't ask about or told him you weren't interested in.  Why would he go on about how great the GI Bill is when you already told him you weren't really interested in college.  If you told your recruiter that you wanted to be play with explosives, why would he tell you about all the great opportunities in administrative fields.  \n\nLook, there aren't any real secrets out there.  You have a brother, cousin or friend in the NG ask them or ask your recruiter.  Your NG recruiter has to do something you average AD recruiter doesn't... he has to see you every drill weekend.  It's not in his interest to fill you up with too much BS.\n\nYes, we ALL know that you may fall into a rotation in Afghanistan or here in Iraq with me... don't sweat it.  It's a post 9/11 world and military service is never going to be the same again.  You are going to be part of history... a part that few of us may get to see again in our lifetime.  \n\nAsk your questions.  Talk to your friends/relatives in the NG or on regular AD they're not gonna BS you.
