if they don’t know, it’s because they don’t want to know.

We are taught from the recruiting process on how to identify gang members (i.e. police checks, National Agency Check, and gang affiliation signs such as tattoos). However, with a clean police record ) or sealed juvenile records) and the absence of gang tattoos, etc. It can be hard to weed them out. We have had a big push for years to identify and remove these individuals and from my experience as active duty and former recruiter, I have done all I can to keep them out or get them kicked out. This will be an ongoing problem with a volunteer military that has high pressure to maintain end strength.
