I am not alone in having my materials lost, being run in circles about MOS's, and worst of all being told to lie about my past (minor medical problems and occasional drug use years ago). Apart from the obvious ethical and moral problems, it is simply poor salesmanship. The number one selling point for quality candidates is also the best thing about the Army: joining something bigger than yourself for the sake of your country. When your first interaction with the Army is filled with lies or obvious stretches of the truth, it makes you reconsider the reality of what it is that your signing up for.
Anyways, just my thoughts on the process.

How about sending me the the specifics of where, when and who concerning this incident and I will pass it up the line. This recruiter should be looking for other means of employment. I will need your name, his name and rank if you can remember it, when this occured and where. I am sure I can get someone's attention so that this doesn't occur again.
