A recruiter who got my name from the community college where I was taking some classes called me at home. He apologized for wasting my time when I told him I just turned 61.
Military recruiters only allowed in public schools because of No Child Left Behind? I don’t think so! Active military recruitment has been going on in public schools for several decades at least, and not just the past one. They were doing it when I was in high school (mid to late 80’s) and it hasn’t stopped. There is _NO_ correlation between allowing military recruiters and obtaining NCLB funding. My sister is in administration in a public high school and I just asked her.

Gracie going to regret not spending more time as a kid, as a kid. The real world isn’t as fun.

This is fun for Gracie! And yeah, she can mix work and play - good lesson for us as we get older.
BTW, it’s the real world for everyone.

At least there’s not one of those corny “Yo soy el Army” booths there.

good choice gracie, never too early to get info about schools, take your time finding which one is the best for what you want to learn
Potrzebie, they don’t need one, the recruiters go right to the schools, my oldest son had them at hos school the year he graduated (‘91)

Wonder what would happen if Gracie met Calvin?

@celecca: probably the same thing that would happen if you mix matter and anti-matter.
