re: How honest is military recruiting?

A young guy I knew right out of high school went and told the recruiter he wanted to work on jets. Recruiter guaranteed him he would be in the 'aviation community'. Kid gets his orders and spent 4 years fueling aircraft. He had a bitter streak that couldn't be broken and with that attitude, he was locked in to that crappy job until his enlistment was up.
Yes, there are some less than honest people doing recruiting.
