I still want to see my Son get JUST 4 years in the USAF. He will still have a great experience and make friends that are special. Even a year or two ago, my Son and I were chatting about the status of today's Military and if a career was a good idea. In the last 5 years, he has dealt with 5 Navy Recruiters and 1 USAF. The USAF guy seems ok and one of the Navy guys seemed ok. But overall, I did not sense the same Pride that my Recruiter had. DEFINITELY not the same enthusiasm. I was just telling my Wife that ONE Army Recruiter hounded me from the day I graduated High School. So help me, he even called my house AFTER I left for USAF Boot Camp. I thought it was funny , for years. Now?? I'd give ANYTHING if my Son could have had a Recruiter just half as Gung Ho.

  Prayers needed y'all. I am SO sick and down for my Son. His Military dreams probably dashed.

  Thanks. I haven't felt this helpless in a long time. I'm gonna keep digging and be a PITA to MEPS and Recruitment.

Ramgator92September 21, 2024 01:47PM

  that's a shame

  All the reason it frustrates me. They cannot get 100% healthy kids to even look at a Recruiting Office

Ramgator139September 19, 2024 07:43AM

  Thats to bad

IowaRam119September 20, 2024 01:17PM

  I told him to at least consider the Navy again. With what you said, what kills me...

Ramgator112September 21, 2024 09:09AM

  Anything government run is a joke..

sstrams110September 21, 2024 05:55PM

  Two days ago, I had a USAF E-7, who is a MEPS Liaison tell me that.

Ramgator93September 22, 2024 02:44AM

  Literally a week after the Berlin Wall went down, you could see the decline. It's why I left the USAF.

Ramgator94September 22, 2024 03:06AM

  Part of the problem is what you mention..

sstrams94September 22, 2024 06:44AM

  I know two young men....

Ramgator85September 22, 2024 08:00AM

  sorry......didn't mean to be discouraging

21Dog110September 22, 2024 10:19AM

  NOOOOO. Not at all discouraging.

Ramgator111September 22, 2024 05:11PM

  I ain't giving up and neither is my Son. We still have ONE more card that might happen.

Ramgator131September 21, 2024 01:55PM

  Something that has really made me say WTF?? from VERY early in the game..
