Has anybody ever been fooled by those Army ads?

I especially like the one where he talks about coming home a more complete person, presumably he's discounting the ones who've had their limbs blown off

i remember when i was sacked from my first job at 21....i had no job, no money and became curious when i saw one of these ads, i called them to ask what the salary was and i was shocked.

i wouldn't get that money at my age with my limited experience...so i decided to visit their office the next day...that morning an agency called me an offered me a job and i took it...phew

Then they stand around berating people, saying things like "Want to be a nobody forever?" and "how about making something of your life?" to young men as they pass.

I stood and watched them in Barnsley once, they eventually approached me and then hilarity ensued.
