My sister is 14 right now and she was thinking about what she would like to do and she really didnt have a clue. I sujusted joining the army and she laughed at me and said "ya right" I can't do that. She said this because when people mention the army what comes to mind? The infantry or the armour right? well anyway so explained that there is so much more then that in the army good benefits you know the whole recruiting pitch and we sat down whent on the DND website and I showed her a whole bunch of diffrent options and careers that are available. we finally found one that interests her and now she seems to want to pursue this. she is interested in IMAGE TECH it's from the airforce but I believe they move around to all the brances anyway my point here is had I not mentioned this to her she would never of had any thought of joing the military because the common image of the military is the Infantry and the like. We need to have Recruiters when they go to schools really slam that point home she has seen several presentaions and yet still had no Idea because most people already have their minds made up that the military is only for men and that it's all blood, guts and glory. personaly I don't really know how you can change this common notion and attitude. Any Ideas? On another question Is there anyone on here that is an Image tech cause Im trying to find so more info for her.
