SSG Christopher Parrish 360840 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a funny story to relay, from an interaction I had this weekend with an Army Recruiter.<br /><br />As I've posted before, my oldest boy wants to go in to the service as an armorer or something similar to learn our weapons systems to be able to eventually become a weapons designer and build better small arms and tow-able sized weapons for our troops.<br /><br />So this past Sat I went in to the local recruiting office to talk to an Army Recruiter. As I walk in and am greeted with the standard "Good afternoon, how may I help you" I proceed to tell this very young looking SSG that I am interested in getting some info on information needed and requirements for enlisting. Yes, I posed the question that way on purpose, just to see what would happen.<br /><br />Keep in mind, I am 41, bald and had a beard at the time and am 6' 225 Lbs. The look on this guys face was simply priceless. I quickly let him know I was getting info for my Son. But for that minute or so after I introduced myself I have a feeling this guy was questioning his decision to become a recruiter. 2014-12-08T13:44:13-05:00 SSG Christopher Parrish 360840

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hey, the AF raised it's age to 38. I figure when I retire, I can join up again. Starting over would suck though.
