Met a pair of recruiters once, trying to sign me up that's all. It was nearly 15 years ago, so I don't remember much of what was actually said. I'm averse enough already when approached on the street, and once I understood that it was what I classified as new age self-help gibberish I noped out. I later learned that they were from the scientologists.
This was my recruiter run-in experience too. "Hey, are you stressed out?" "Yeah, I'm working in DC, obv." "Then come inside and take our free stress test." "No thanks, I just got off work and it takes me 2 hours to get home." The next day, I paid a little more attention to the building where it happened... said Scientology right there on the front. This was about 2000 when I had heard very little about them.
Yeah, that sounds very familiar, except they don't (as far as I know) have a base nearby. I think they were trying to expand.
Strange that this pretty mundane conversation formed a strong memory when I can't remember what I ate for breakfast.
In my case it's simply because I absolutely hate being approached on the street. I have in later years learned to just look offending strangers dead in the eye and angrily interrupt them with a "NO!" as I keep moving with the impetus of a howitzer shell.
lol
They literally have bases, yes.
Just sounds like a survival game, RUST, ARK, something like that.
Wait until you find out about SeaOrg.
