He comes back and confirms it's the National Guard.
Thanks for all of your answers. Not sure what their high moral standards are nowadays but Im sure that I meet whatever requirement they have in that area. Several of you guessed it was for the National Guard and you are right about that. Heres what Ive determined. I really dont want to join the Army at my age now. However, every other private business that is hiring has the same unwritten rule, you have to be under 35 to get a job these days. I dont care what they post about not discriminating about age they are doing it anyways.
It's discrimination! Has to be! If a 60+ Freeper isn't hired right on the spot, you know the deck is stacked!
