FYI - While some recruiters are dishonest, most are not. After all, their integrity and demeanor are huge advertisements for the service. Also, they get their shit creamed by supervisors if they get caught encouraging recruits to lie. After all, in the end, the military wants recruits who are actually qualified, not those who can sing a song.
NoSoup, it sounds like this recruiter was trying to make his mission for the month (quota). Otherwise, if they really wanted your friend, they'd have encouraged him to lose the weight the right way, and enlist in a later month. Hell, many recruiters will offer to let you work out with them once a week or more, in hopes of HELPING you meet the standards! I hope your friend realizes that this guy is just one bad apple and not indicative of military people or values in general...

This doesn't seem to be the case though... Five close Friends of mine joined the armed forces. Four Different recruiters recruited them. All lied about their medical history, 2 were lied to about their occupation, and 1 is having issues with the weight thing.
Also, I know a girl that quite literally slept with all of the recruiters in a single night. Moreso, this girl was
one of the recruits
I know that this should not affect my views on ALL recruiters, but it certainly seems that all of them in this area are fucktards.
