My adventure with USAREC started 20 years ago in the Harrisburg Recruiting Battalion. Reflecting back to a time when we did not have cell phones, laptops, scanners, and social media; it was like recruiting in the Dark Ages.
We wore Class Bs every day. Although I went through 4 pairs of corfam shoes a year, I thought we looked more professional back then. Overweight Soldiers could not hide if they had to tuck in their shirt every day.
The attached picture was taken during my first visit to the Harrisburg MEPS. I had so many questions that day! MSG Hale was my senior guidance counselor and he was trying his best to keep up with me. I'd ask, Why do we have applicants on the floor with waivers pending? Why does the floor count never match our projections? Why do we have to work to midnight on end-of-month Monday? Why are you always on the phone with the ROC? Who is Frank Shaffery?
