If this is you, here’s an excellent opportunity to become a full-time Recruiter in the Army National Guard
Later on in the ad it does say you must be an active or retired member of the Guard. I just find it scarey that the guard is advertising for people "Born to Sell" in order to convice kids to join.
Has the ongoing war in Iraq dropped recruitment so low they are getting desparate?

It's probably because those who view the army as a social program are no longer joining.

I'm not sure they've changed their way of going about recruiting. It's always been a job you have to sell and they've always done so.

Hmm, I know a guy who joined in May of last year, and now when he thinks he might get sent to Iraq he wants to get a job at Wal-Mart. He figures if he has a "steady" job they won't take him. Sure.. they take doctors, lawyers, people with wives and kids.. but they won't take him because he works at Wal-Mart stocking shelves. *laugh*
But I do hope he doesn't get sent. :/

If he didn't want to get sent, he shouldn't have taken the oath. No offence implied.

That's why I told my friend he really didn't want to be a Marine right now.
