I can't help you find the right recruiter, but I can tell you we had a hard time with finding a decent recruiter. The recruiter here where we live in Indiana was not a good one either. We called and called and even went in to the office usually to f…
We are too, good news indeed and a GREAT path for him to chose, WOOHOO!!! Or should I say HOO YAH! We just knew he was a smart kid. Now, we gotta work on his patience! :) Glad we'll get to keep you onboard GaryMom, as an official new Navy Sister soo…
Good news!!! Hope I have some good news to share later this week!
:-D
So my son talked to the AF, and then he talked to the Navy recruiter again.. this time the recruiter realized that my son was waivering between the two and took him a bit more seriously. Which was nice to hear.
My son said the AF was good and ha…
ROFL :-)
I will just record and play "Yvan eht Nioj" for him over and over while he sleeps...

Thanks Melinda. GarysMom, don't blame him for being put out and wanted to hear all his options, but I'll be praying he makes the choice that is right for HIM (Ya know, you could try subliminal messaging. Just record and play "Go Navy, join the Navy,…

He is judging the Navy's organizational skills from this one person. I have told him to not do that, but he said if they use this one person to represent them, then this one person should be up to their standards.
He is also disappointed in the Navy…
What cities are in DuPage County? I do have some contacts through an organization called Naval Sea Cadets. They function like a reserve unit for kids 13-grad from HS. My youngest son was in a unit here in San Antonio and because he had earned up to…
The Air Force is nice too...we were in Okinawa Japan for a little while in 2002 and Kadena Air Force base is Very nice! I have not actually been on a Navy base (except Great Lakes) to see how they compare. Air Force Boot camp is here in San Antonio…
I have a feeling by the time the recruiter (it will be the same one that he is dealing with now), comes to the school, my son's mind will be made up about what happens after HS. He is one who likes to have his ducks in a row well in advance, he is n…
I spoke to a recruiter in Colorado last week about something else and she told me they had met 130% of their recruiting goal for the year and her attitude struck me as being very condescending. Since your son is still in high school, I would recomme…
