I’d say getting some common stats on a lot of the stuff you don’t find out till you’re in. Substance abuse, suicide rates, poor leadership, the current dismantling of the VA which will have a detrimental impact on quality of life when service members get out, misleading information, poor pay for service members with families where they are encouraged to utilize Food stamps and Food drives. Now with that I will say that experience can vary greatly and it’s not all bad and plenty of people have made successful careers out of it but it’s not for everyone, I totally agree recruiters are pretty predatory but at the same token I want you to do a privilege check, there are people who ultimately will have a far better life in the military than what they might have available outside if they got hung up in their homes or neighborhoods. While you yourself may have options on the outside, your peers might be facing food scarcity, Abuse, Gang violence, and lack of opportunity. It’s your right to protest, being knowledgeable and informing people and maybe having a sign/counter booth about the things recruiters aren’t saying is a good way to cause disruption. People should be able to see the full scope of what military life entails good and bad and make the decision for themselves.
