lolol...yeah, my recruiter was shockingly honest but only because I called him out on something early on
the water thing....its not even that...its a non issue
I went with him to all his appointments getting some malabsorption issues sorted out...I just really don't remember the details if he even brought em up
theres a lot he doesn't tell me about deployment...and I don't pry
I think I had an easier time with it all because
a. I overshare anyway, its how I sort bad crap in my head
b. I had a good 5 years of practice dealing with very bad poop in emergency services beforehand, stuff the average person doesn't see or deal with...I knew what to expect
I actually had a much harder time with something pre-enlistment
he opened up to me a little because Im one of the few people that didn't make the dumb mistake of asking "what was it like" and "did you kill anyone"..duh...its fucking war, not a video game
