I think my Marine recruiter had morals; at least he fulfilled his word to me.
I wanted an aviation job, but nothing was available at the time I was interested in enlisting. He convinced me that I could go ahead and sign on with an open contract, and he assured me that something would surely come up before I went to boot camp. I took a HUGE leap of faith and signed open contract.
Several months later he called me up and said he got me lined up for avionics. He didn't have to do that, he could've used that slot to snap up someone else, but he kept his word with me and gave me the slot.
I came that close to being a grunt, or truck driver, or artillery...
