| 68eseen this kid a million times when I was on the steters recruiting! And I ad kudos the parents who are so supportive of their family & the military. Thanks. When the young man is a sophmore is a good time to kick the tires of the military. Let him have a chance to have a girlfriend and change what he's like to do in his life first. He'll see the recruiter at high school visits when the recruiter hands out pamphlets at lunch. Maybe he'll see the recruiter at a school function or in the hallway & can approach him them. They'll be pamphlets in the counselors office, too. But 8th grad is too young to have a discussion with a recruiter. (But do stop by the office & get a bumper sticker, key chain, or sports bottle ) To be honest in the explanation the recruiter has to go thru thousands of people each month to find that one or two people who are ready (and qualified) to join the Marines. That task alone takes 25 hours to complete and we only have 24 hours in a day so the recruiter (without being rude to you or your son) won't have but a minute to be friendly & talk. When he is a junior in high school the recruiter will have his eyes & ears open for those interested in serving. And as soon as the school considers your son a High School Senior I guarantee the recruiter will be highly interested in giving your son & yourself all the time in the world. And let me say again it is always a pleasure to meet a parent who is so open to supporting the consideration of their child to serve their country. God bless!
