Not a surprise, I was beginning to wonder if my son's recruiter even knew what planet he was on. Almost everything told to us was false....
My son had a 3.8 gpa in a 4.0 scale, Cadet Lt. Col. in CAP, excellent PT scores, and 5 varsity letters. He did not get the MO NROTC scholarship. We were told by an elected official that the DOD is being strong-armed by the administration to put minorities at the top of the list in order to diversify the officer corps.....
Unfortunatly, my son is now so dissapointed in the government and the Marine Corps that he is reconsidering his life long dream of being a Marine Corps Officer.
