I have had horrable experiences with Army recruters for my 19 yo son. They are offering him so much. He is next to a pro soccer player. Works out with pro teams but can't play because his scholarship offers would go away. Actually had to throw a recruter off my property. Free college, special forces, special assignments are just a few of the bribes.
Bribes? How are these bribes? These aren't bribes. Are they marketing teases? Yes. Any different from any schools, colleges, corporations?
It sounds to me as tho your son is having a hard time making a decision: soccer, or college scholarship money. I'll bet that the recruiters are picking up on that wafflezone, and going for it.
My own two cents? Please help your son to make a firm decision -- one that he is perfectly comfortable with. From what little you've shared in post, sounds to me like your son's passion is soccer; but not necessarily college via the "conditions" of scholarship. Am I wrong?
Faulting recruiters as making his "life more difficult" here, is not apt to solve, IMHO, your son's decision in this matter. If he's going to go on to college and with the conditions of his scholarship, he needs to be at peace about this. If he's not at peace with the terms, then he's psychically wide open to all kinds of invitations.
He may be giving the green light to recruiters. And you might not be picking up on that.
Very best to you and your son in this decision-making process.
