I hated the recruitment texts and calls. The high school and university apparently just give your information to recruiters.
Wait, this a real thing? That’s so… American I guess.
Yep. It’s actually the whole reason we have phy ed.
Basically if you get federal funds, you have to do what the federal says.
I see, I always assumed it was either people giving their info themselves or others did to prank you. I guess it makes sense for a country who loves perpetual war.
Do military recruiters actually just cold call (well, text) you like that in the US?
Yes. Before cell phones were common they called my parents land line asking for me.
Also like any ‘sales’ job metrics matter, so they’ll take a meeting with kids like this even if it doesn’t convert to a recruit in the end.
