Should the military be allowed to recruit at high schools? (26)
What do they do their GJ? Here it doesnt happen. There they offer training and college tuition in return, is that correct?

I don't like that they recruit at the high school, though I do have two in the Navy and have both been in since they were 18. I think kids should choose on their own once they are 18 years old and not under pressure. I have seen how military recruiters act, I don't like it. My opinion.

The military goes to the high schools to recruit the students. To be honest, the recruiters are not always honest. They sometimes promise the moon and the stars to these young kids.
I agree with CB, great picture.------ This poll is Archived ------

I seem to remember when I was in high school they would come and give their sales pitch and promise you things and then you end up getting a head shave and shipped off. I guess they must have stopped then started??
I don't know, I imagine they get other propositions that are not so "healthy"from other sources.

Generally speaking, I don't believe high school students are mature enough to make that kind of decision

I totally agree with CB, my son was in the Marines for 6 yrs, he didn't enlist until he was 23...he served 2 tours in Iraq...so NO I don't think they should recruit from high school, 18 yr olds are wet behind the ears!!!

Yes I do believe so...some students that decided not to enlist or go to college, some end-up on dead-end street.
The military service instead can be a good start for most of then.
I myself served right after high shool, I didn't wait for the draft, and I don't regret it. A friend of mine did the same, after his service, he went to college, went to ROTC military school while in college, he retired as a Major. I end-up working for the Federal Government, now I'm retired. So the Military service could be a good choice.

I know of a school district where the Military would go into High Schools and test the seniors and also call the parents homes asking to speak to their children.
I remember the time when someone called my home when my son was a senior in High School and I told that person to go jump in the lake.
I contacted the principal at my sons High School to find out what was going on and all I got was the run around.

They have been doing it for years. Nothing new. I know, I used to do the testing. Several kids have career goals. It is amazing to see how many kids have a level head on their shoulders. By the way it is not mandatory for all High School students to tests.. only those who want to.

While I see your point. Testing in High School does not ensure an enlistment. That is the decision that the student needs to make. While alcohol disrupts critical response time and clear mind. A gun in hand is a choice and they are made aware of the consequences prior to pulling the trigger with a clear mind. I would not agree to have a military personnel at any given age to pull a trigger and under any influence. We teach our young children to hunt and responsible gun safety and they can not drink, yet if the need arises to defend, survive, and to protect they are trained to do so.

They do recruit in High School here in No. Ca. they start at the age of 17 if someone ask questions then they fulfill the answers. Then they keep an eye on that student when they near the age 18 then they are spoke to again if they still have interest. Yes I agree I do not always like the recruitment skills by some. It is a branch party to most recruits (so to speak)and a recruiters dream to have a high score recruit. Majority of recruiters really do have the best interest of the student in mind and their goals. I think during war time, it is more difficult on them as they know what they are potentially sending young men and women into.

I disagree. While some maybe immature those usually do not pass. Remember they must study for this test. Do some really understand the full ramifications of their decisions, NO! Our military training is changing and not for the better in my opinion with new comments from enlisted men and women.
