Reply #10: similar experience

When I was on active duty from 98-02, we had this guys in the barracks peddling cash value life insurance, magazines, and other stuff. I usually told my soldiers why these investments sucked(or why the magazines were overpriced). They basically prey on uneducated enlisted(some officers too). Luckily, I have a degree in business, so I knew all about it.....

Oddly, when I was at OBC in fort sill, Multi-level marketing amongst west point grads had run amok. I think in my platoon of 30, ten guys were pitching it at one point. Needless to say, many of them learned the hard and best way about why MLM's suck. Anyone here have similar experience? Heard of Prepaid Legal Insurance, at least that is what they were pitching back in 98.
