17-Year-Old David McSwane Takes on Army Recruitment

Posted by Eric at 2:45 pm. Filed under: General

Quite a story from a high school journalist:

For one thing, he told his recruiter, he was a dropout and didn’t have a high school diploma.

No problem, McSwane says the recruiter explained. He suggested that McSwane create a fake diploma from a nonexistent school.

McSwane recorded the recruiter saying on the phone: “It can be like Faith Hill Baptist School. Whatever you choose.”

“I have a problem with drugs. I can’t kick the habit. Just marijuana,” McSwane recalls telling the recruiter. “And he says, ‘Not a problem. Just take this detox.” He said he would pay for half of it, and told me where to go (to get it).”

Drug testers Sallinger contacted insist it doesn’t work, but the recruiter claimed in another recorded phone conversation that taking the detoxification capsules and liquid would help McSwane pass the required test.

“The two times that I had the guys use it,” the recruiter says on the tape, “it’s worked both times. We didn’t have to worry about anything.”
