When I was in high school military recruiters were a common thing to see on campus. Most of my friends joined the military and, honestly, I might have too if I didn't have asthma.
Here is my worry about it. These recruiters are under intense pressure to hit recruiting goals. Many of them lie to your face and tell you what you want to hear knowing that what they tell you has no chance of ever actually happening. If you read and fully understand the contract, you might catch this, but the contracts are complicated and likely a person would need a lawyer to fully understand them.
Of all the people I know who have gone in the military only a couple of them have actually ended up doing the job they were promised when they signed up. Most of them either ended up in a combat zone or doing some job they hated that would not help them better themselves after the military.
So, I guess, I wouldn't have a problem with it if the contracts were more clear and concise and they recruiters were forced to tell the truth.
