I was in the military for a while (both Army& Air Force). I knew alot of recuriters personally. You do have to be very carefully. Some do lie, however most just OMIT the negative stuff- unless you ask specifically.
My first tip, is ask someone you know in real life to go with you. my 2nd tip is to actually listen to them. I have been to the recuiters office with several people who asked for help....let ended up listening to them and not me..and some paid the price for it...and got crappy jobs that wont translate well back into the civilian world.
Dont get me wrong. I love the military, and would do it again!
Start with knowing what kind job YOU WANT, not what they want you to do, second is knowing what kind of benefits are given to everyone (not just you cause your special for signing up that day). oh yeah, the military can make any job sound cool...
Feel free to PM if you have any specific questions.
