Well... recruiters DO have a pretty stressful job. They have a quota to meet each month, and if they keep getting a low number of recruits they can get in trouble. The really crappy thing is that some of these guys didn't WANT to be recruiters: During service you can be SELECTED for recruiting duty, and if you refuse it doesn't look good on your record. Also their hours SUCK
Anyway, good luck with the Coast Guard man, people may make fun, but I know I heard somewhere the coast guard boot camp is the 2nd most difficult one to go through (next to the Marines of course
)
