This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Were you in the guard? I know the Guard went through a couple different signing bonus scandals back in the day, but I haven't ever heard of the same for active duty.

I think the recruiters have a lot more leeway and control over Guard recruits, since they're all mostly operated at the state level. I know in the 90's in California the recruiters were basically just stealing enlistment and reenlistment bonuses.
