I can't join the military because I owe back child support?

I already took my asvab and passed. I recently got fired from my job. I'm looking for a new one now. I owe about 1600 in child support. Is it true that i cant join because of child support? Is the recruiter tellin me the truth?

go to child support enforcement and make an official request to modify the order. They are required to help either parent upon request, by federal law.

For 22 years, I have volunteered my time working with divorced/single fathers dealing in family law issues, such as child support, teaching them about what the states are not telling support obligors.

Yes, he is. If you owe child support you are flagged as a deadbeat dad. To the military, that means that you cannot meet your obligations.

Why would he lie. His job is to recruit people. The army wants people of integrity not dead beat dads.
