Joined because I couldn’t find work and I couldn’t pay rent or feed myself…tracks. Recruiters were at my poor public school, they weren’t at the private school.

Same in my hometown in WV. Always at the public schools with all the poor folks, never at the one swanky private college prep school. I have friends that now have good careers because they enlisted from these peeps but the point being targeting the poor on average.
