I guess I say dedicated because the recruiter my brother had when he signed up was all buddy buddy with him but as soon as he signed the papers the recruiter acted like he didnt even know him, and my recruiter is the complete opposite they say they would gladly go to the mall with us to help us get our referrals. My brother was all on his own. Another thing that sucks...my school doesnt allowed the Marines to come and talk to us students. For example they say that all the other highschools let them walk around during lunchtime and try and recruit people. My school doesnt let them come in and if they do wanna talk to anyone they have to make an appointment and even then it is unlikely they will be allowed to come. Very homosexual of my school if you ask me

I shall have PFC at graduation due to college hours. I've got an associates', which I've been told will help a great deal with advancement later on as well, especially trying to get into MECEP.

It's pretty amazing to me how many ways a recruit can make PFC or even LCpl out of boot camp. When I was in there were only two ways to make PFC out of boot, prior service contract PFC, or meritoriously. Only 10%, max, of the platoon could make meritorious PFC.
My platoon graduated 65 Marines, one was a contract PFC (three years prior Army service), and six meritorious PFCs. And there was a question as to whether the contract PFC counted against the 10% meritorious figure (it didn't).
LCpl wasn 't even a dream in boot camp.

MSgt, you are correct. A school that receives any federal funds must allow the recruiters to be there.

That is true, but it can be limited to different branches of the services due to programs at the school.
As in my school there is Army and Air Force ROTC and they are the only two branches that are allowed to recruit on our campus. It is due to the programs that are there and therefore the Navy and the Marine Corps as well as the Coast Guard are unable to recruit on any school property. However, for highschool I am unaware of any recruiting policies regarding who can/cannot recruit at the school due to the funding issue.

As I remember it in the 80's, Recruiters were allowed to visit during the lunch breaks and could stand in the foyer, or in front of the lunch room, as long as it didn't interfer with the students lunch or studies. They could visit with any, and all, that wanted to come to them and talk! Recruiters were never allowed a one on one with a student at school, those were always at the prospects home or in the office of the recruiter! This is in Tennessee ( which may have change since then)! I don't know about the rest of the states!
