Army Recruiters: "Counseling" High-Schoolers to Death
Merrow, John
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v70 n6 p4-7 Feb 2005
This article deals with Army recruitment in high schools. Students get to ask questions and hear stories about life In the Army from a soldier of the year, officers, and recruiters. Some brave students will even get a physical taste of life in the Army. According to an Army officer, the primary reason why recruiters go on high school campuses is access to young people that don't even have a concept of what military service might be. Some students think the Army's visit gives them good exposure to future career options. But other students don't like the military having this much access.
