When I was 18 I had a Marine recruiter chase me down the street.

I was 18 when 9/11 happened. The recruiters would hang around GameStop looking for ~~suckers~~ recruits who were playing the demo consoles they had up. And usually start the conversation with "I wasn't here to recruit, but . . . "

Being a customer to GameStop, yes.
