i seen that today and im curious if thats an often thing because recruiters typically just recruit and after they have recruited someone i never thought it was that common for the recruiter to try to change the recruits life in other ways as well

My husband is an Army recruiter and he keeps in touch with many of his recruitee's. He has never taken them to church though but I am sure he would go if they asked.

Sir!
I am well now considered "old Army".
Twas common practice in the 1950's and early 1960's and for some since, to take a real part in the role of the recruiter.
It those days: well it was better, less rules but more of an active role for a recruiter.
A recruiter could say talk to a students high school teachers,
even his "probation officer".
Many retained friendships and did keep in touch.
If you research the life of one Louis Richard Rocco, US Army medal of Honor via google or what.
You will discover such.
The Aussies and brits are still in well a "Regimental" system, allows them better contact.
Any fool can join the military but "join my Regiment" should be the goal.
It is an Army thing.
We "The Army" should do better.
I can clarify.

I haven't heard of that but it's no big deal. Maybe they shared the same beliefs before the guy signed up. I've heard of recruiters working out with the recruits to prepare them for basic. I tell ya, running 2 miles at 4am before school and a lot of prayer is what got me through basic. LoL. Maybe the recruiter there realized that too. Take care. :o)

A new recruit is not required to go to church with his/her recruiter, but if invited they can go or say NO THANK YOU. I doubt if the recruit was coerced.
