My husband's recruiter asked for my father’s information, but I don’t know much about him. Is his information necessary?

I don’t know anything more than my father’s name and birthday since that’s what’s on my birth certificate but he asked for his address and phone number then told me to just give him something to put down. Is this going to affect my husband in any way? I don’t know much about my father except he has a record so I know he’s not a good guy.

You offer the very little you do have and that’s it. They are conducting a routine background which everyone in the service goes through to clear him for duty. Good luck.

This information is needed for the recruiter to complete his packet. However, it is not a show stopper and will not negatively change anything. you're not the first person to not know their parents information and you wont be the last. Dont sweat it at all. I'm currently on recruiting duty and see this often.

Is this for the SF86? Because I Just put N/A down for both my parents and brother address ect every time I have done one. Never have had a problem with investigator because if you don't know the information then you don't know it.

I do the same. In family and associates I'll put the name and in the comments or remarks I'll just put that the applicant does not know information.

Tell your recruiter to do a background check on your father. My father was a bombardier drafted in WW2. Give him the name. I only met my father one time. I still do not now his middle name and do not care. Now uncle Matt urban is another story. Most decorated soldier in WW2. They say one of the most. I say BS.
