Well to cut to the chase I was a Army Correctional Specialist! I have PTSD FROM ALL THE TORTURE I saw.
I worked at GITMO and the USDB. The Army mainly tells the public it is a easy 9 to 5 good with low risk. They also fight us through the VA when we get out with allot problems.
Army lies
1. It is a safe job because you don't deploy: I was in Afghanistan 4 times on missions I was there long enough for a combat patch. The fact is the state side jails are hazardous than the war. I was stabbed 3 times, got hep c from a urine cocktail, and had my back cut open at the usdb.
2. The Army will pay for your college: Half true what they don't say is you work 12 to 18 hours a day for 10 to 15 days in a row.
3. You can reclass at any time: BS I tried to deploy to get away from the DB and many stay in Iraq to avoid it!
4. The army will let you ETS easily. Gross lie! When I was in my window my commander, 1st sgt and retention nco gave a family visit. They started out by saying "you have a nice family" then they said if you get out "we will keep you from getting a job." They ended saying they will just stop loss me. They tried to get my wife fired after I got out!
5. Training is like going to college: Lie! In your school do you get hit with chemical weapons? Did you get tortured?
