Allow me to relate a story to you:
Many years ago I was attending scout school at Ft. Knox, KY (OSUT for 19D, arguably as hard if not harder than the 13 series OSUT).
A friend of mine, who washed out due to poor eyesight, was asked by his recruiter if he "liked to go camping". When he replied yes he was enlisted as a Cav Scout. He was 22. Recruiters are about as trust worthy as car salesmen.
That being said, they do a very important job, and without them I would be up Shit Creek....
