Thanks for adding that you did not include spouses. I hate it when people look at us like we are idiots because we have clearly never been in the military but will step up and answer a question. Some people should understand that though we will never be able to say we have been there, we know more than any regular civilian ever will. I also agree with James here if you have not been in the military, married to a service member, or grew up as a military brat then do not pretend you know anything.

You'll have to find his family and keep in contact with them.\n\nUnless that soldier has given the Army written permission to talk specifically with you, the Army will tell you nothing about him.

i know exactly what you mean, the FRG in my husbands unit is terrible, when he was in Iraq, nobody even contacted me to tell me about the welcome back ceremony.  what you and i need are better FRG leaders that actually do their job and keep an updated roster of all the spouses.

Best bet is if you know what units they were assigned to, do a search on those units.  \n\nI come from a military family, found a wealth of information on the Navy, Army Air Corps, and Army from WWII, Army - Korea, Brown Water Navy - Nam, by searching those.  Included were refrernces to my relatives by name.  Even found my own name from Grenada and Desert Storm.  \n\nExample:  8th AF (Uncle Served WWII, B-17 pilot decorated postumously), USS Cobia, WWII:  Uncle Served on four combat cruises, USS Kitty Hawk (Same Uncle Commanded this vessel), 554 River Division: Uncle Served two combat tours), Swift Boats:  Cousin Served (OIC, WIA, Feb 28 1969), and more.\n\nI even found the inscription from my grandfathers headstone   in the military cemetary where he is burried.  \n\nHope this helps and happy hunting

My husband is currently in the national guard getting ready to go active duty.  We recently found out that if you are not active duty the military doesn't care one crap about you.  Just remember, those who yell the loudest in the military get things done the quickest.  my advice, annoy the crap out over everyone involved until they do something about it.\n\na military wife.

Because they are what you say they are, jackasses. When I joined the Army, I had to get a person signed up to get extra rank before I went in. I had a buddy who was going to join but before he was even out of high-school, he got his second drunk driving conviction. The Army now would not take him. But a USMC (U.S. Marine Corps) recruiter went to court with him and off my buddy went to the Marines. So to that Marine vet who answered, "because they are", I believe  you are a retard. And since you joined the Marines, my theory is even more supported. At the end of the day, we are all on the same team, but it's over-proud people like that who give the military in general a bad name. To all of you who are thinking about joining the military, unless your dad was a Marine and would disown you for joining the Army, don't join the Marines. The Army is no cake walk, but your quality of life will be much better in the Army than in the Marines. But as long as you join, you're my brother in my book.

THEY ARE ALL THREATENING YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS OF YOUR PAST MILITARY CAREER. PROBABLY MOST OF THE ONES DOING THE THREATENING. HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO HAVE A CAREER IN ANY MILITARY, LET ALONE THE GLORIOUS RED ARMY. MY ADVICE TO YOU WOULD BE NOT TO LISTEN TO THEM.\nIt May also have something to do with one of your earlier questions that you were also a submarine commander i think people do not know how versatile the Russian soldiers can be.\nI thought you had gone back to Russia its been a long While since i have seen one of your questions.

of course you should expect them to honor their promises just like they expect you to honor yours. i've heard lots of stories just like yours and am not surprised at all. i also have several friends in the military two in the army and one is a recruiter and he says the same thing. i sent your posts to him and he laughed and said he wasn't surprised either...at a $1,000 a pop for each person the recruiter enlists and finishing ait it can be pretty lucrative which makes the chances of getting a lying recruiter pretty good. its a shame that your lack of knowledge and the fact you're young was used to intimidate you but try not to dwell on that, the whole world seems to be into it. i know a lot of recruiters are like this because even the army put a stop to recruiting and 're-evaluated' its recruiting tactics as a result of so many complaints. don't let these jerks who call you names and accuse you of being a coward get to you either, they either aren't real soldiers or just trying to raze you. either way screw 'em as they say they are not worth your time and you're right to expect to be treated right and not lied to especially by those who are your superiors. hang in there and remember there are a-holes like the recruiters who lied to you everywhere and in the civilian world too...just take a look at some of the responses to your question for proof. i'm proud of you, you're not only a soldier but one who has morals...hooah, baby...hooah !
