They are mostly under 18, and being fed a sales pitch.
There is enough shady dealings happening with recruiters to be worried as a parent.

Well I see your point, and I also agree with a lot of what Bad Jane had to say as well. I am getting a little education as to exactly how bad the recruiters are these days. A lot seems to have changed since I enlisted in the fall of 1982. (God has it been 23 years already?) I enlisted in November 1982, a week before my 18th birthday, only because I had to have my parents signature being under 18. I could have waited a week or so, but I wanted to make a point with my Dad, whom I was having issues with at the time (like a lot of teenagers). I worked my own deal, and all the recruiter did was coem over to the house one evening, lay everything we had worked out in front of the folks, and they had to sign off on it...which they did. Recruiters never really were all that aggressive back then, which apparently has changed as well. It's a shame they are that way...what an embarrassment for them, and the military as well.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
