The Wildest Recruiting Pitch Ever 💀
A person recounts their military recruitment experience, where they initially wanted to join Delta Force but was discouraged by one recruiter who said special forces would only lead to becoming a criminal or hitman. They found another recruiter who offered alternative paths through Rangers and Officer Candidate School.
Summary
The speaker describes their journey through military recruitment, beginning with their direct request to join Delta Force. The first recruiter they encountered gave them a shocking and discouraging response, claiming that joining special forces would only lead to becoming a criminal or hitman after military service, which prompted the speaker to leave immediately. Undeterred, they sought out a second recruiter in another town who took a more constructive approach. This second recruiter explained that while direct entry to Delta Force wasn't possible, there were viable pathways through the Rangers program. The recruiter outlined two specific options: joining the infantry first and then pursuing Rangers, or leveraging their college degree to volunteer for Officer Candidate School (OCS). However, the recruiter also warned of the risks associated with the OCS route, explaining that failure to complete the program would result in being assigned as a Private First Class (PFC) with no control over their military placement.

The only thing going into special forces is going to do for you is when you get out is either make you a criminal or a hitman." And I got up from my chair and walked out and found another recruiter in the next town over and he was like, "What do you want to do?" What I told him and he goes, "Okay, you can't do that, but here you can become a Ranger and then become that."…
