I keep a sharp eye on the school calendar as the school has implemented a policy that ALL recruitment visits, be they college or military, are to be listed online at least 2 weeks prior to the visit.
A couple of weeks ago, on a whim, I double checked the calendar and there was a Naval Academy presentation that got added to the calendar a mere 5 minutes before it was to begin!
I make it a point to be on campus for any military presence and I could not be there on 5 minutes notice.
I contacted the school right away and the councilor and the the principal got back to me to explain that it was an oversight and not an intentional action that would have prevented me from being there for the presentation.
Do I believe them?
*********************************************
Here is a great video that I just watched.
I like the idea that children can be solicited to go to a college and if they change their minds during the course of that commitment - they can move on.
Not so with the military.
