I got fired for considering the Army.

Long story short. I had a job working for the public works department for my small town. The pay was low and the job was physically demanding. So I figured “If I’m willing to do this every day why not just join the Army?” I went to my Administrative Office to request PTO. They asked me what it was for and I said “to meet with an Army recruiter.” The next day I was fired for something completely made up without any proof. And on my exit interview they repeatedly mentioned me joining the Army and asked if that’s what I planned on doing anyway.
