There was a lot of fraud with those $2000 bonus payment for referring a recruit. These go back to Integrity.

I remember hearing stories of AGR member who quit to Recruit full time since they were making close to 6 figures just bringing people to the recruiting station.

As a former National Guard recruiter I was lucky if I had 6 or 7 soldiers refer potential candidates. I was so damn busy going to schools and doing events I couldn't refer anyone myself. Working 6 days a week was a wear and tear on my time I didn't put much stock into the referral program especially when not many wanted to join at the height of the wars.

SFC(P) John McLaughlin - I'm sure it depended a lot on the location. I recruited out of Delaware and it was a pain, but the office in NC had a ticket machine in their waiting room since they had so many applicants.

CW2 (Join to see) - that it does. I was out of eastern Pa right in the New Jersey border. I picked up the area from an established recruiter that had been there for 10 years. Trying to insert myself was tough.

CW2 (Join to see) No sympathy for them... They knew what they were doing was fraudulent. As an old saying goes, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime"...

I find it funny that the National Guard is prosecuting this, but they look the other way at high dollar procurement contracts going to General's brothers and cousins...
