Recruiter Signs Entire Family

By Alabama Public Radio

Locust Fork, AL – A Blount County family is making national news. The McIntyre family of Locust Fork hosted Navy recruiter Wendy Chunn. Chunn was there to recruit the McIntyre's 18-year-old daughter to enlist. Instead, the whole family signed up. The daughter, Brandi McIntyre, signed up first -- to be a culinary specialist. Then her 19-year-old brother Jamie enlisted in the nuclear engineering program. Their parents, Kerry and Angela McIntyre, later signed up for the Navy Reserves. Chunn says she's never heard of an entire family enlisting in the military.
