Recruiter abuse has become such a problem that a congressional committee has suggested installing surveillance equipment in recruiting stations (which does little to protect young people solicited in schools).

Examples of recruiter abuse include:

• Making misleading or false statements;

• Repeated contact after a request to refrain from contact;

• Physical coercion;

• Sexual solicitation;

• Encouraging recruits to lie or falsify information;

• Offering drugs or alcohol;

• Attempting to intimidate or scare recruits or their parents;

• And refusal to accurately document recruits’ medical or legal situations.

If you or someone you know has experienced this, please reach out to the Military Recruiter Abuse Hotline or the GI Rights Hotline for support.
