How should a recruiter or AF be handled. Shouldn't they be held responsible to make restitution for monetary , and emotional losses incurred by member and family? Shouldn't the AF be held responsible for the recruiters actions.

If it was written in the contract ....you have a case
But usually all you will get is released from service or another option.
If your complaint is something the recruiter said or promised.....it would be almost impossible to get "justice" (?)
At best you might get the recruiter reprimanded or relieved
.....but there would be no monetary recompense.....whatever you say the recruiter will probably deny... leaving the issue"he said: he said"..... and recruits always lose "pushes"
Dont feel like a lone ranger....I was lied too also
The Air Force is , to a degree, responsible for the actions of their recruiters.....the problem comes in proving your case.

You're long on allegations but short on information.
Firstly, how did the nurse recruiter lie to you? And secondly, didn't you ask any questions before you signed up? Did you know what you were getting into?
I have no idea why you think you are entitled to restitution for monetary and emotional losses incurred by yourself and your family, but if you think you have a case, get a lawyer and lay suit. But based on what you have said here, no one could possibly advise you as to the rights and wrongs of the event, because you haven't provided any details whatsoever.

Something sounds so wrong to me here. One, it is much easier to enlist new Airmen than prior service. They only have so many slots for both but they have more slots for new guys than prior service. So he was wrong on that one. Two, it can be extremely hard to go enlisted to officer. You will have to put in a packet with recommendations, be accepted and a few more requirements. And then go to schooling which is different than the training he will go to now. So that means more time away from you and the rest of the family. Why go through different trainings when you only needed one? As for going in Officer, there are no guarantees that they will place him in a Chemistry type field. They will place him where the Air Force needs him. I would say go speak to a Officer Recruiter and let him help you and go in as an Officer. That would be better all around, better pay and better housing.

The question is did the recruiter lie, or did they not offer information. What a recruiter tells you is just words, the only thing solid and gaurunteed is the contract you sign at meps. The recruiter is not liable for anything nor the Air Force unless you can provide proof that there was a breach of contract.

No.
1st Reason. You are talking about possibly taking on the US Air Force. Do you have a good enough lawyer (expensive), and enough proof to back up your claim in court.
2nd Reason. Recruiters are much like salespeople, it's more or less their jobs to lie. This is reality. If you have signed on the dotted line that is all the courts will see.

Recruiters are like Used Car Salesmen, they will carefully phase statements with,"You may, You might, Its possible or similar".
Lots of gray areas, put lots of shine on the positives and don't mention the negative much if at all.
Take anything they say with a grain of salt, Get it all in writing. If not in writing, it not likely to happen.

The recruiter can promise some things if you got it writing your good to go but if you just got a verbal forget it you can't prove anything.
When going into the service always get whatever school they are offering you in writing with witnesses signing it.. then your assured of what they are going to give you.

If you can prove the recruiter lied to you,
And I mean prove it.
You can report the recruiter to the Air Force recruiter command.

You don't specify what the lie was. And you don't indicate whether you have taken your oath of office and accepted a commission from the President. If you have not yet been tendered a commission or sworn your oath, then you are not in the Air Force.

You signed a contract that includes a clause stating that anything not in that contract is not guaranteed. Unless the "lie" concerns something in the contract, you have absolutely no chance in any court, let alone military.
