As an AF wife it horrifies me. Asking for a commanding officer is not a threat to national security, especially in a recruiting center. To connect with your local recruiters, often the best bet is to just stop by the recruiting station (usually in a mall or strip mall). They should be more than happy to talk, especially since Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-53718637009649913012010-08-16T13:35:05.631-04:002010-08-16T13:35:05.631-04:00@William I hear what you are saying but I still do...@William I hear what you are saying but I still don't see how finding out who the commanding officer is a threat to national security. But if it was, this officer could have nicely explained the situation to me and said he would like to help me but he couldn't. This officer was so rude to me from the start (and there is no excuse for rudeness) that I did not even feel like trying to talk loonyhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378360383088143368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-27432639427465238432010-08-16T13:21:24.626-04:002010-08-16T13:21:24.626-04:00With the threat of homegrown terrorism, I find it ...With the threat of homegrown terrorism, I find it natural that the person would not give the name of the commanding officer. You don't need it. Send you request to the commanding officer and be professional. Did you relay your concerns to officer Dobbs or insist on talking to the commanding officer? Officer Dobbs may have been happy to help if you would have just asked.<br /><br />You ran William Gripentroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514056126127266406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-999536929119458002010-08-11T09:33:54.899-04:002010-08-11T09:33:54.899-04:00@Melafwife Please don't get me wrong.

That is exactly why I want to give our students a chance to meet with recruiters and see it as an option. I also think there needs to be a chain of command and I was not allowed to go up the chain of command when I had a problem.loonyhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378360383088143368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-53002363432811670892010-08-11T09:20:53.380-04:002010-08-11T09:20:53.380-04:00It' s called the chain of command and let'...It' s called the chain of command and let's not forget these soldiers DIE every day for our freedom. <br />With so many deployments (lots of soldiers deploy for 365 days) military life is stressful and the personnel is strechted to the max.<br /><br />Your tax dollars can never replace a lost life, but hopefully will help the wives and children now without a father.<br /><br />Just my Melafwifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900769083082349102noreply@blogger.com
