Dodging Military Recruiters, what's your strategy?

[greblc]

I Recruited for the Marine Corps in the late 80's.
The most effective way to stop a Recriuters harrasment or phone calls is to claim a Medical Problem or Homosexuality.

Blind in one eye, epilepsy, or severe asthma work well.

1. Tell them you just got a DUI

Or just completed drug rehab. Knee surgery stops 'em cold. Even arthroscopic surgery.

2. Kiss 'em on the lips.

3. "Fuck you, fuck the Navy, fuck the president, and fuck your mother"

They still call you (you're on the mailing list, after all), but it's still fun to say. :evilgrin:

5. Memorize this part of Alice,s Restaurant:

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I
wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and
guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,
KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," and
he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down
yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the Sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,
sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."

I would have FUN with that. They would remember me.

9. I've never been approached.

I think it's the "Support Basic Rights For Gay/Lesbian Americans" stickers on my car, backpack, purse, etc.

10. Tell them to call you, but only after they get the Bush twins to enlist.
