"Sandie Hudson" My son asked to go off ADD med after taking it for only a short time years ago. He heard that he couldn't go in the service if he took them. The med wasn't helping anyway and were causing some problems so we did discontinue them. Really? My brother is on ADHD meds and he's in the military. JennP. |

Sandie They're called CS or Culinary Specialist now. Denise Cool! I think that is much better. After all, he says they did send him to Culinary School.

It was just what my son heard. Like I said we decided to take him off for other reasons anyway so it didn't really matter. Sandie |

the schools. they are required to give student info to military recruiters, including home phone numbers... & no, there is no opt-out. an 18 year old male is required to register for the draft, so is likely to get more calls. So, when did it become mandated? I got called my senior year, just like my brother did his senior year, back in '80 and '81. I hung up on the recruiter because he was a jerk, but it wouldn't have occurred to me back then to have an issue with it. It was just something you expected to happen. Nan |

Nan I graduated high school in 1981, and never heard word one from any military recruiters. Neither did DH, who graduated in '82, albeit from a private school. I have three younger brothers who graduated in 1983 and 1985 ,they were never approached. That's why I was so taken aback by this. |

Dh says he didn't get called, but he'd already taken the ASVAB, as he planned to join the Marines. My ds got a phone call before he joined, but he'd been giving it some serious thought. Maybe it depends on the geographic areas? We're in the Great Lakes area of the US, but I don't think that would matter, really. Dh's opinion is that the schools don't have any business giving out the info, and I agree, in hindsight. But if it's mandated, I'm wondering when and what the reasoning behind that is. Nan |

scribbled: "Nan" wrote in Not necessarily. It would depend on the "when", which is why I am wondering. If it's been mandated for longer than the last year and a half, then your theory doesn't hold up. Nan It's been at least 4 years, IIRC. Thanks Denise. So, it's been since before 9/11 and everything that's changed since that day.... My ds tells me his Guard unit continues to get new recruits, but I don't know what the rate was before the war, either. Nan |

Nan The requirement that schools give info to military recruiters was part of the "No Child Left Behind" thing -- so relatively recent. All of my kids -- son and daughters -- have gotten info from military recruiters. -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |
