Just to let you know, this is what I've done to try and get referrals up till now:
1. Printed off a bunch of copies of my recruiter's business card and have been handing them out to friends.
2. I've been talking to people about my joining and all the upsides to joining the Marine Corps.
3. I've been talking to people and trying to get them to call my recruiter.
4. I've given the names of all my friends and other possible recruits to my SSRG.
Still I am without a single referral as of now. I enlisted last month and I ship out 20060807. I got about 9 months to convince 2 (or more) people to join... and I'm not having much luck with the methods I'm using. Am I just too impatient? Or is there something else I should do?:confused:
