I think the arm forces are getting desperate

[Nikepallas]

I have a monster account and I just received this in my e-mail.

4. This isn't a post on monster

It's an email sent to specific individuals. I don't think they've done that before... could be wrong though. :shrug:

7. they have emailed specific skillsets

on monster and other boards before...and this looks similar to that letter...been around for a while...but it does seem that they are getting more 'advertising' minded...

11. Sad part is I'm not skilled health care. I'm mean people complain that

I am a glorified babysitter because I have worked with both Mentally and physically challenged as well physically challenged (mind for the most part is sound and VERY intelligent)

2. They're going to draft my baby girl, who is a nurse. They are on

the list for conscription until they are in their mid thirties.

8. She could walk across the Canadian border and they would kiss her feet.

She'd have to take the exam again, but that's no big whoop.

9. You're lucky. I'm in IT and have received no such e-mail.

Given my current job status (I know I will be unemployed by circumstance within 2 years and, having been looking for over a year, there are NO jobs), I'd likely take them up on the offer.

10. It's a recruiting pitch..

..just say no.

12. About the Navy and the medical people they want

Most of the corpsmen (field medics, etc) for the marines are Navy. Chances are these people they are trying to get would be sent to Iraq attached to a Marine Unit somehow.
