We homeschool and they have called my son. I have no idea where they got the info for him! My son plans to serve AFTER COLLEGE. He has promised me he will finish college first.
I got rid of the last recruiter by asking him if he thought it wise to come between a son's promise and his Mama. He said "no, Ma'am" very meekly and hung up.

My son attends the Community College, and is approached by recruiters, but when they find out he's 17 they back off.

He says they've never asked for contact info, but we are definitely on somebody's list because we're getting lots of brochures and fancy packets of literature.

I don't mind, but it seems like a bit of a waste of taxpayer dollars because the mailings are frequent and the literature looks like it's expensive to produce (very nice qualilty literature.)

Your son can serve in the reserves during college, go to ROTC, and he won't be liable for deployment until he graduates.
