A fishperson in an intimidating hat!

While that's what it means, anybody who says that to you in the Army is most likely some godawful flavor of d-bag.

One of the badass NCOs I knew, though, would say poo poo like "Don't go dippin' in my kool-aid" so there are exceptions.

I swear when this whole process is over I'm going to either be the most cynical man in the world or the most patient. Or both, no reason I can't have the best of both worlds.

If the system is functioning properly, almost everybody who goes into the military and leaves before retiring should be competitive for the most cynical individual ever to live.

By the way, my recruiter keeps telling me that if I sign up for any other active duty job/reserves I can get it re-classed to Nuke without any issues. He's not BS'ing me is he?

Oh, yeah, that's totally legit, thousands of recruiters totally haven't used the same line to gently caress over the planned military service of tens of thousands of servicemembers.

((At the end of your contract you can reenlist to re-class but it varys from hard to loving impossible to do so during your term depending on your command; don't listen to that bullshit and stick to your guns for the job you want.))
