Marine recruiter

[Steelharp]

One of my sons has signed on with the Marines. He goes to boot in January. Today, we were talking. He told me something the recruiter said to him, and I just want to run it by you. It sounded odd at least, dangerous if he was for real.

We've heard about Ewbama's "Civilian Militia" (Gestapo). The recruiter told him it's purpose is to be silent domestic spy type deal to find people saying/plotting negative things against O? Ever heard that notion from anyone yet?

Actually, it would be ideally suited to 're-education', domestic intelligence (snitching on parents, friends), and a vehicle for maintaining control and strengthening the 'cult of personality'.

About the only thing it is liable to be missing is the 'Hitler Youth' knives.

Wife was watching the O on TV. He was saying something about his plans, and Congress could go along with him, or get pushed aside.

Should be a very interesting few years.

Which RSS is your son a poolee at? If it's in Mid TN I can check on that.

We live in Gallatin. I assume whomever he spoke with is here.

Cool. I'll touch base with the Recruiters I've been working with to see what word has been past or if this Marine is just going off of personal opinion.

I've heard a lot of Recruiters say a lot of things that were....to be polite, false.

Yeah, so have I. Basic is a breeze. It's like summer camp. TI's don't yell at you any more.

It's only 6 weeks (Air Force) (If you don't count the weekends, holidays and any other extra day they can think of.)

Steelharp - and everyone else...

I just read this today, and while long, it's a pretty interesting read. He brings up a lot of stuff I hadn't considered in very much detail.

Please take a read (and yes, it seriously relates to this thread).
