Recruiters who state you can get the trade or clasification you really want once you are in.....

Lying officers when you know they are lying......

People that follow rules when in suits them, and when it does not insist that they are right and "the system" is wrong....

 

[Chilly]

Lying officers when you know they are lying......

How about just people who lie, since I am pretty sure officers aren't the only ones who lie.

Right?
