  1. recruiters getting him ready to be sent to iraq since national guard is over there too.  


  2. Because they want to reduce the amount of incentives they have to pay to your son. Dont let him do it. make sure he mentions it or work with another recruiter !

  3. The gov. is thinking, no kids put him in the front lines.  If kids needs him to support them then keep him home to produce more troops for the front lines.

  4. There is a very good chance he will be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan at least once.  I know a guy who is deploying to Iraq for his 3rd tour in 5 years.  Recruiters are full of **** and will tell you whatever you want to hear.  Yes, they will even flat-out lie to you as their future promotions depend on meeting a quota of enlistees.  If your son wants to enlist, there is nothing wrong with that at all, but just make sure he knows what he's getting into.  

  5. Sounds like he wants him to denie having 2 kids, which is a no-no. Find a better recruiter.

  6. you SHOULD wonder... look out for your son, and encourage him to stay away from the guard unless he is prepared to die in the middle east and for what?  recruiters are low down and dirty, they are parasites that feed on our young children, seeking them out in their schools, calling their homes, trying to get young bodies for cannon fodder.  don't believe their bullsht ok?  be a good mother a strong mother and advocate for something better for him.  

  7. It has to do with number of dependents allowed for a single Parent, if any, and each Branch is different.

    IMHO, he needs to find a different Recruiter, as to do what this one suggests could be considered fraudulent

  8. that recruiter is a piece of **** that doesn't care about your son. Your should do Air guard if he want to do like a reserve thing.

  9. Find a new recrutier. He should get election coverage for his childern and wife.
