Guard recruiter's 'Netflix and drill' not catching on so far

Filed · 1538

EGLIN AFB, Fla. — Several airmen and soldiers stationed at Eglin Air Force Base have expressed unease after the local National Guard recruiter invited them to "Netflix and drill," Duffel Blog has confirmed.

Staff Sgt. Randal Sherwin, a 48-year-old recruiter for the Army National Guard, has been busy trying to convince qualified service members and civilians to join the Florida Guard, especially younger individuals who have more potential longevity.

"Do you plan on returning to school or going private sector, but don't want to leave behind the military's camaraderie or the Florida party scene? Come join us for some Netflix and drill in the National Guard, and you won't have to spend your weekends alone. Here's my number," said Sherwin as he offered his business card to a female airman sitting in front of his desk in the recruiting office. The airman excused herself to use the restroom and has yet to return.
