Imma be real with you, every country that has a military recruits from schools. Lots of countries don't even ask, they just make you go in anyway. America isn't an oddity at this.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 16 points 8 months ago

Never even heard of one in my country. Recruiters are rarely seen outside at all.

The oddity is having a military recruiter for a specific school. All we had was a stand for the military at a fair with all studies options (context: belgium)

I'm assuming he's assigned to multiple schools, not just this one specifically.

[–] DigitalFrank@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Yes. Recruiters have a region they recruit out of. All schools, colleges, walk-ins, job fairs, and cold calls in/ from that region,

How's that odd? When you work somewhere typically you work in a specific area.

This is more or less what we had at my high school/secondary school in New Jersey

[–] GeoGio7@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Hahaha no they don't. There's only a select few countries with mandatory service too.

I know that my country has a military and doesn't recruit from schools. You actually have to put in a lot of effort to get selected. (Although this might be because we are the most populous country in the world.)
