Ah, recruiters. Never dealt with one. I was "recruited" by my "Uncle." Sam was his name. Sent me a nice letter that said, "Greeting" at the top. Very nice of him.

I asked the server what it was, and he said, "that's yer chow!" Wow, they said we'd get fed chow in the Army 3 times a day, so now I was really worried
