It's no longer enough to tell about the wonderful travel opportunities the military can offer:
The U.S. Army plans to stop recruiting activities for one day this month to review procedures that its 7,500 recruiters use, an Army official said.
Maj. Gen. Michael Rochelle, head of the Army Recruiting Command, is expected to make the announcement, which could come as early as Thursday.
The move follows a CBS News report of least two allegations of recruiting abuse.
In one case, the network reported a recruiter suggesting how a potential volunteer might cheat to pass a drug test, and in another, a sergeant threatened a prospect with arrest if he didn't report to a recruiting station.
The Army said it is investigating the allegations.
A good idea. And how about checking this one out, too:
Will Ammons, 20, signed up for delayed entry at the Lake Jackson Army recruiting station last year.
But soon afterwards, he fell in love and changed his mind before he ever shipped out.
That's when, he says, Army recruiters crossed the line and started harrassing him.
"He told me I pretty much had two options," Ammons said. "I'd go before a judge and get a sentence of 15 years but he had the option to double it. It was either that or they were going to put me in front of seven other people with rifles and shoot me."
Ouch!
