DEMONSTRATION AT ARMED FORCES RECRUITING CENTER IN SILVER SPRING SET FOR THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 5PM – 7PM
Sgt. Thomas Kelt, a U.S. Army recruiter, left this message on a young man’s cell phone:
"Hey Chris, this is Sgt. Kelt with the Army man. I think we got disconnected. Okay, I know you were on your cell probably and just had a bad connection or something like that. I know you didn't hang up on me. Anyway, by federal law you got an appointment with me at 2 o'clock this afternoon at Greenspoint Mall, okay? That's the Greenspoint Mall Army Recruiting Station at 2 o'clock. You fail to appear and we'll have a warrant. Okay? So give me a call back."

The Army says Sgt. Kelt is the perfect person to be in charge of other recruiters since he experienced first hand what happens when ethics rules are broken:
