After re-reading, it sounds like the OP was talking to the recruiter, but the recruiter couldn't see him from where he was standing so stepped forward so as to be able see him...which actually seems like the polite thing to do...
Oh, and for the record OP, I hope your daughter joins the Army.
Lighten up Francis
Yeah, this. I have a hard time understanding how someone can just walk into a strangers home uninvited.
This. Call and demand his badge.
+1 What Martlet said. The dude is probably welcomed politely wherever he goes and thought someone gave him an unspoken invite inside. Your wife was being pretty nice to him. I don't think any tinfoil is needed here.
"Shit, last thing I remember I was doing keg stands at a Fraternity House. How'd I get to Basic Training?"
If your wife was speaking to him at the door, I find it hard to imagine that he had not already identified himself to her.
While some of you feel the need to beat on the OP, you either didn't get his point or are off topic as usual...let me reiterate what I think was the OPs main point was...
SOME UNINVITED ASS HAT WALKED INTO HIS HOUSE.
and as I already posted...
I don't care what anyone says here, paranoid or not, you push into my house past the threshold without being asked to come in and you ARE going to have a problem, a big one.
(and I don't give a shit if my wife was talking to you first)
Flame me.
If not, the name tag and U.S. Army or U.S. Marines is usually a dead give-away.
What, you're going to do what to a member of the military exactly?
This. Call and demand his badge.
So, assault.
Totally reasonable.
Enjoy that cell.
I told him “We’re fine, thank you very much!” in a very stern and assertive tone. Seems like he got the message, he said thank you and left.
Oh, so you'd use words first? THAT is reasonable. Nowhere did the OP say he told the Sergeant to leave and the Sergeant refused. Talk about going off topic dude.
Evaluate the situation as it unfolds, utilizing interpersonal skills and there would probably be one less rant on NES today.
Thank you for proving my point.
Situational awareness.
I'd be in the cell no longer then cash bail got me out.
I'm the problem if I assault you in my own house after I ask you to leave and you don't?
Problem I am, then.
...and excuse me if I don't respond to your next silly response...B's are on...see you after the game or tomorrow...
I was one of the screwed guys who had to sign up in 1980 as part of Jimmy Carter's Selective Service revival. Well, I had just lost my right to drink beer legally the year before, so I did some thinking. Well, not mature enough to drink beer with friends, but legal enough to become cannon fodder? No brainer, there. I refused to register, changed my driver's license address to a PO box and remained silent. Other friends did the same. The less .gov knows about your personal business, the better!
