It does happen, the likelihood is small though. That's like saying if we knew someone won the lottery, someone spending money on it is a smart investment.

Besides, my friends were in the military prior to 9/11. Those non-deployable positions are few and far between, getting into one in a time of war is difficult to say the least (though still possible).

So you and your daughter were lied to, that is unfortunate. My question remains, did anyone present a contract which contradicted what would actually occur?
I'm a little lost on your Lotto analogy, but not sure it matters.

She walked out of basic an E-3.

In regards to contradictions by contracts. In my case yes, but the contract where basically shoved in your face and you signed then back then. Everyone I talked to in basic said nearly the same thing.

In regards to my daughter the Navy and Air Force were never pursued to the point of any contracts being viewed.

When she signed with the Guard they went through everything line by line. Even had a DVD they showed us. Everything was covered honestly, as far as I know.
