1:26:09
I'm going into the Air Force myself,
1:26:10
I'm goin' to take the year off probably after high school
1:26:12
and then just go and make a career.
1:26:15
I wanna be an aircraft maintenance technician.
1:26:17
I ran into a recruiter and, uh,
1:26:18
there was something I noticed about it
1:26:20
and this is kind of on another, it's just,
1:26:22
I noticed it was odd.
1:26:23
It was more like he was hiring me for a job
1:26:24
than recruiting me for the army.
1:26:26
It was the way he approached me...
1:26:27
approached a friend of mine...
1:26:28
It was at Borders Books & Music.
1:26:29
He just came up, it was, it was his business card.
1:26:31
He had business cards made for the army and everything.
1:26:39
Meet Marine Staff Sgt. Dale Cortman
1:26:42
and Sgt. Raymond Flower.
1:26:45
They are two of the many recruiters
1:26:47
assigned to Flint,Michigan.
1:26:50
They're very busy these days.
1:26:52
Look at him, he's runnin' around already.
1:26:54
Yeah. Whatta we got here?
1:26:59
A little gangsta.
1:27:01
Yeah. Probably going over to the Courtland Mall now.
1:27:06
They decided not to go
1:27:07
to the wealthier Genesee Valley Mall in the suburbs.
1:27:10
They have a hard time recruiting people there.
1:27:13
Instead, they went to the other mall.
1:27:17
Let's go in through Mervin's.
1:27:19
And then we'll walk...
1:27:20
... straight down...
1:27:21
... straight back...
1:27:24
Gents, you know we're looking at ya, right?
1:27:25
You guys ever think about joining up?
1:27:27
Thought about goin' to college
1:27:29
to play basketball or something like that.
1:27:31
You gonna do it?
1:27:32
I think, oh yeah, especially to play basketball.
1:27:33
Good.
1:27:34
You can play ball for the Marine Corps as well,
1:27:36
travel around the world,
1:27:36
gettin' on Marine Corps basketball teams.
1:27:38
David Robinson was in the military as well.
1:27:40
Was he?
1:27:41
Yep. So you can definitely hook it up.
1:27:42
Right now there's somebody out there
1:27:44
who wants to be a Marine
1:27:45
but has no idea how to do it.
1:27:46
Where do you work at?
1:27:47
I work at KFC.
1:27:49
Really?
1:27:49
You can hook us up with some deals?
1:27:51
Yeah.
1:27:52
They're waitin' to get recruited.
1:27:53
I don't know,
1:27:54
I'm probably gonna try to get a little career
1:27:55
in music or somethin'.
1:27:56
Career in music.
1:27:57
Maybe we can get you a career in music.
1:27:59
