Feel like I should post this link for you Recon wannabees.

All I can say is I hope this kid is making this BS up. There are so many of us poolees who would gladly take this contract this kid has been offered. When I first called me recruiter I said "I'm motivated, I'll never quit... I want Recon" and this kid just gets offered a UZ contract like it is no big deal.
MY answer to this kids question is NO... DONT TAKE THE UZ CONTRACT. If you don't another poolee will get offered the contract and hopefully he will be prepared and have wanted the contract for a while. If you take it, and don't know what you are getting yourself into, you will fail and the slot will be wasted.
As you can tell I am a little ticked off. And for all I know the kid could be a swimming and PT stud... if he is, take the contract... don't quit... and become a Recon Marine.
