That brings back memories, when I enlisted in the Navy in 69 I was at the center in Newark NJ where they did the physicals, paperwork, loaded the busses, etc. As an enlistee I was treated differently than the draftees, given a table, coffee, ash tray for my smokes. The recruiters came in and sat down from all the services with a stack of papers and they started sorting thru them by POLICE RECORDs, car theft Army, shoplifters airforce, assualts, marine corps, it was $uckin hilarious. This guy came off the elevator acting crazy and pulled out a sword like he was going to chop people up, 4 marines tackled him and I heard 1 marine say, 'welcome to the corps asshole' as they dragged him away. Judges used to give people busted for various things the option, jail or join and the recruiters would be right there to fill out the paperwork, mostly army and they were on their way to Ft Dix for processing and boot camp before the sound of the gavel faded away. Just some remembrances of how it used to be.
