A good one can totally sell the package, but a bad one can leave you with a nasty taste about everything relating to their company. I'm glad you had fun last year. If you go this year, I hope it's even better. I know what you mean about recruiters (and other people in sales).

I’m glad you had fun last year. If you go this year, I hope it’s even better.

Probably went 65% of the way through signing up when my recruiter moved on and I got assigned to a different guy. Lucky for me that guy was a total jerk and made me rethink what I was doing. Decided not to sign up, and about 3 months later met the girl that is now my wife. No way she would have even considered dating me if I had a Navy commitment hanging over me. So glad I didn't go through with it. That being said, I work for Boeing now on the F/A-18 and got to take a 10 day work trip out on the USS Harry S Truman last summer. That was totally awesome. Hopefully I am going to be getting another trip this summer. I talked to the Navy when I was in college about their NUPOC program, and about aviation.
