That's a lot of why I hold grace for some fellow veterans. These recruiters prowl high schools on some predator shit(and I know I've seen headlines about recruiters getting pinched for statutory); so if a comradely veteran tells me they were DEP too, I hold space for them that I wouldn't hold for a graduate careerist or an actually proud veteran.
They would keep trying to get me to join and I'd tell them to fuck off, I was going to university. One time they called home when I wasn't there and my grandma answered and they told her that I was interested in joining and they were just calling to follow up and gather more information about me for my application or whatever. My grandma saw right through that and told them to fuck off and that I wasn't interested in joining and hung up on them and then told me when I got home. I was just a kid.

I had recruiters at my high school.
