Uncle Sam wants Joey Crossman

But since he’s 7, joining the Navy might not be smooth sailing

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., June 12 — First the Marines came calling. Now the Navy wants Joey Crossman. But is Joey ready? After all, he’s only 7. The name of the elementary school student mistakenly landed on military recruitment lists, most likely through a magazine subscription, and the military has been wooing him ever since.

Joining the miliary at age 7? Don't you think thats a little too young?

What are your opinions on this?

That's what happens when too much trust is put on machines, I suppose.</font>

Poor Joe

Aren't you not even allowed to do a full day's work until you are 15 or 16, because of a child labor law? And shouldn't the military have noticed by now that they are trying to recruit a 7-year-old?

Your right LS0158, thinking about that, wouldn't the military be prosecuted?

Is this 'Navy' the same guy who keeps trying to recruit me for a breast enlargement?

It must have been a slow news day, huh?

Or when too much trust is put on the guys and gals using them. ;) Now where's the any key? :D
