Is there someone I can e-mail about joining the military?

Question

I want to just e-mail a recruiter. Not request info from the website.

Thanks

Answer 1

How do you expect someone to email you if you block your email? Not too many people want to post their email online for every one to read.

I understand that you may have questions. You might get honest and open answers from people...but that don't mean that the answers are correct.

I'm a Vet and there are things that have changed since I joined. Like when I first joined the Navy women didn't go on ships...the laws have changed. Men and women went to separate boot camps...that too has changed. Bases have closed and schools have re-aligned.

While the experienced military member answers your questions with good intentions, they may give you bad answers and not know it.

Most recruiters will have up-to date information about schools and programs. Then you will have specific questions you can ask the community. Like:

Did anyone sign up for the xyz program? How was it?

Good luck...

By the way I think you can email recruiters through the websites.

Answer 2

I agree with ED. Just go down and see if your evan eligible to enlist. Your not obligated until you go to MEPS and get a program guarantee and swear in. Just talking with a recruiter does not obligate you.

Answer 3

The best way to do that is to go to the service's website and there is usually a form to fill out and in a day or so you'll get an email and/or a phone call... but if you are serious just go see a recruiter, you don't even need to make an appointment in most cases, just remember that they usually go to lunch sometime between 1100 and 1300 (1pm)

PS there's navy.com, goarmy.com, marines.com, airforce.com and uscg.mil

Answer 4

well a recruiter will want to talk to you in person. but you can request info from marines.com or goarmy.com and the recruiter will call you, maybe you can tell him you will be in touch via email. and he will give you his email address. along with office and cell phone number. But talking to your recruiter is nothing be scared of, they are normally nice guys, and they dont make you sign anything right away, just tell your recruiter that you are exploring your options and need time to think about it, most likely he will just go through some information with you, such as benefits, different MOS's and civilian credentials.

I am very glad i talked to my army recruiter, i think you should do the same

Answer 5

Nope. You can either request information via the website or look up your local recruiting office and call to set up an appointment with a recruiter.

Answer 6

You're right to be concerned about the military and you're right to be cautious.  However, recruiters have a quota to meet.  Remember that.  The recruiter is going to tell you what you want to hear.  (S)he's a salesman for the military and is, in essence, trying to make a sale.  

If you're fortunate enough to find a recruiter who's willing to take the time to answer your questions without pressuring you, you got lucky!  But, you should be prepared to be disappointed.  If you're still in school, I recommend you do what others have said, and visit your local recruiter.  But, make the visit with one of your parents.  If (s)he starts asking for contact information (i.e. phone numbers, address) be tactful and let him/her know that you'd rather not disclose that information as you're not sure if the military is for you and you are there to simply learn more.  If you give them your phone number, you can bet they will be calling you.  

I have a good friend who's an Army recruiter in Las Vegas, New Mexico.  If you'd like, I can give you his Email address.  You can also Email me if you have questions about life in the Army.  

Answer 7

Don't waste your time or his.  Go make an appointment, meet with the recruiter, see if you even qualify, get your questions answered, and make an intelligent informed decision!

Answer 8

What branch?  Go to Army.com and find a recruiter and email them.  

Answer 9

I agree with ED Ski. Get off your lazy *** and go to the Recruiting Office and give them the respect of talking face to face.
