What Everyone Should Know Before Joining the Military

What Everyone Should Know Before Joining the Military If military life doesn’t live up to the advertising, you can’t bring your enlistment agreement back to the recruiter for a refund.

NNOMY is working with War Resisters League to distribute palm cards at high schools that will direct youth to online resources that they can access on their mobile devices. This information and additional links will assist them in answering the questions they will have about the realities of military enlistment that they will not hear from military recruiters, and direct them to non-military alternatives to achieve their future educational and career goals.

The "Military Programs and recruitment methods in the Schools" webpage will describe the various programs and recruiting methods of the Department of Defense, some that have been in existence for some time and others recently formed. Many of these strategies for military recruitment, old and new, have been expanded in recent years and now a new trend of public military academies has emerged to target poorer youth in communities classified as "at risk" for crime and imprisonment. All the following programs and methods are generally funded under the Department of Defense's recruitment budget even though the DoD claims that these programs, like ASVAB testing and JROTC, are not for recruitment purposes.
