re: #385 Aceofwhat?

As a parent, i have utmost respect for your protectiveness. I’d be just as upset if it were my daughter. I want to make that clear.

Hopefully, you also know that you can opt out of having your daughter’s name and address passed along to the military.

And i agree with you that i wish we were permitted, as parents, to opt out of any contact whatsoever until our child is 18yo. That seems like a precious right to keep, doesn’t it;)

That was 2 years ago, but I consider it a safety issue. My son is a Navy officer and I know from this experience that a lot of recruiters are young themselves and they are there a short time. When I talked to the recruiter in charge he was scared I was going to take this further so I know it was wrong.
