Kids can go to the recruiting center if they really want to sign up. Schools should not have to provide recruiters with their records.<BR/><BR/>But the school has no choice since they are beholden to these same folks for their money.<BR/><BR/>Extrapolate that to any other government program you see fit.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941875334878452635noreply@blogger.com
