National Guard presence in high schools?

2. You're not over-reacting!

The National Guard does a lot of really great work, I have nothing against them. But it seems like they are “recruiting,” especially as those kids are too young to realize it.

When my boys were in high school, they were supposed to take the ASVAB test to determine “aptitude.” I refused to let them take it, but they were still contacted by recruiters. For those who are interested or curious, that’s fine. I just knew that my sons were not going to be in the military and I didn’t want them to be considered.

It’s good to be aware! I also kept my younger son out of an Eddie Eagle (NRA) assembly that supposedly promoted “gun safety.” Sometimes it’s necessary to be suspicious. The schools don’t always look at these “intrusions" the same way that we do.
