Army recruiting questions serious answers please?

Question

How many towns does an army recruiter have out of one station and how far away are those towns from the office?

I am asking because my husband just got assigned to this duty for the next 3 years. He has been going to towns that are 1 and 2 hours away and are closer to another recruiting office. He has also had many phone calls from people that are very far away and i do not think that they are in his coverage area. Things havent been going so great and I am finding phone numbers on our bill and numbers stored in his phone and they are females I know that he will be recruiting females as well as males. He talks to me about his recruits all the time and he was very punctual about telling me when one was a female in case they were to call and I answered the phone so as not to start an arguement or suspicion arise. But why would he nottell me about these people? Also I do not want to call the numbers for fear of it being a potential recruit I would never jepordize my husbands career.

Answer 1

im sure you can find some way to record the telephone calls and find out whats being said.

or just try listening in on the other phone.

also when they call do they ask for him  by his name or do they ask for him by his rank and then his name.  

Answer 2

To give you a little insight, if you are already questioning him about his job, you are either going to make him a lousy recruiter, or end your marriage. I have been on recruiting duty for the last 3 yrs, was suppose to be done in july but was extended till january.  My wife when I first came out here questioned me about every female that I worked with, cause yes they call and ask questions all the time! It about ruined our marriage. Then she snapped back into reality and remembered that I was married to her and had a job to do.

It all depends on where you guys are recruiting out of, I am in one major city and all of my stations zip codes are located in this city. Actually have more than one station in the city I work in and some of our zips are closer to those other stations. And just because you are assigned to one area, doesn't mean you can't put someone in from out of area. Beleive me, that happens quite often... I have gone to another state to put someone in! It is rough on family life and you guys will take a beating, but just remember it is only for 3 yrs!

Answer 3

You'll have to specify when you say "Things havent been going so great". Have you tried confronting him about the other callers? Also, when one of them calls, you can pick up the phone, take a second hook off the phone (one that your husband can't see from where he is) and tell him he has a call. Give him the first phone and listen in on the second phone. Make sure he doesn't know you're on the line.

Answer 4

wow thats a tough one. not really sure the best way to deal with that. but keep yourself very aware of things. If he is running out he is bound to slip up due to becoming complacent .. Always ask questions just dont overload to make him think you are suspecting.

Answer 5

He should not have to drive 1-2 hours for recruits.  In most parts of the country, recruiting stations are positioned so that no potential recruit would ever have to drive more than 45 minutes to an hour.  If recruits had to drive that far, many would just drop out of the process, especially with gas prices the way they are.

Additionally, the female to male recruit ratio should be only 1 to 5.  So, only one in five recruits should be female (that is according to the national average, of course).

If I were you, I would confront him about it directly with the above information.  If you seem well-informed he's less likely to try to deceive you.

Good luck, stay strong and keep your chin up!!

Answer 6

You know...you need to trust your hubby.  He has a job to do.  he has worked with females before hasn't he?  As far as how far his station can go to do recruiting.  If they come to him or call him he is going to want to put them in the military because he will get the credit for it.  

Don't go calling people and questioning them.  Let him do his job and you stay out of it.  He tells you what goes on.  Be lucky for that..some hubby's don't do that with their spouses so they don't know what the heck is going on.

EDIT::  Sounds like you are jealous of the females.  Your hubby has never worked around them and now you are having to get used to it.  I am sorry you are having problems with your marriage but you need to talk to him about your marriage..NOT go after peoples phone numbers that you find on your phone bill...that is so high school!!!  If you can't trust your hubby that much then you need to have a long talk with him!
