You don’t have to go to any appointment. Call and cancel (at night if necessary to avoid talking to him - leave a message)

The Navy is not interested in someone who doesn’t want to be there. So if you are not interested, tell the recruiter and be forceful. You don’t have to say “no thank you”, just say “NO! and please don’t call again”. You might mention that you find his continual calling “harassment” and ask who you can contact to complain about his recruiting tactics.

I got drafted (and ended up spending 30 great years in the Navy). But you have a choice. Don’t be talked into something you don’t want to do.

Tell him you have to wash your dirty socks during the appointment time... or you can flat out tell him you dont date men:p This will go away after about a year or two, I havent gotten called in months now.

I have never gotten a phone call-oh wait-we don't answer the phone usually!!

(other people we are avoiding) I do get stuff in the mail though-I remember that they wanted to give me free socks if I wanted a brochure!

You can always tell him you're

. That may definitely turn you off to a few military circles.

Seriously, just hang up on him or simply don't go to the appointment. You never have to see him and the worst that could happen is you'll offend him and he'll stop calling you. That's what I do anytime I get any phone solicitation.

95Legend6Spd · 12-03-02, 02:10 PM

I'll give you some honest, straigh-up advice on this one:

If you want them to stop harassing you, then all you need to do is say the following: I am going to art school, and I hope to become a professional (dancer, dance teacher, ballet dancer, independent artist, etc...) because I feel that I'm sensitive to the social issues of today's world, and I feel that I can grow and gestate and bloom like a new spring flower, if only the NYBC (New York Ballet Co.) would give me a chance..."

Trust me, this really does work... I used it 4 years ago when I turned 18 - not a phonecall sense...

ImportGrl · 12-03-02, 02:57 PM

call and cancel your appointment and when he asks for a reason... tell him you have a date with your b/f because thats his b-day or your aniversary. they dont want gay men in the military.. pitiful but tru. also, they dont want drug users or or ex- drug users. they kicked my friend out when they found out she had lied about using ecstacy. if you cant pull this off... just get caller i.d. and dont answer.. hehehe good look! and remember "Uncle same wants YOU!" (dont get nightmares from that)

jose3030 · 12-03-02, 04:13 PM

Tell em you're gay w/ a lisp...

Then you're home free.

Dethred · 12-03-02, 04:17 PM

If you tell them the truth

, though they might still take you in for being so honest!

ImportGrl · 12-03-02, 04:19 PM

well, if ya do get stuck with it and they accept you... all ya have to do is not pass bootcamp, then youre out!

either that or eat a whole lot of oreos and get over the weight limit... hehehehe

Dethred · 12-03-02, 04:22 PM

Or you can pick up the phone yell "Fuc* You"! and then hang up. You dont have to do Sh*t unless they draft you, then you shoot your foot or pretend to have horrible vision.

Dont drop the soap if they sucker ya in!

How did they find out that he has used X before?? because the dude also asked me if I used drugs, and all that ****.. I just said "No..."

acpac_jet · 12-03-02, 07:51 PM

great now I'm scared. I turn 18 on Friday, and I'll be damned if I have to listen to a whole bunch of military recruiters. I have already gotten mad mail from the coast guard acadamy, west point, and the naval academy, along with **** saying stuff like 'koin the army" or "join the navy." Now they're gonna call me too? Damnit.

My friend had a meeting with a marine recruiter, and the asshole won't leave him alone (although he is probably one of the worst people to be in the marines, he is big, but he's a burnout. We're seniors, he's in 11th grade English, ohh well).

i cant remember how they found out about it. but i will find out and let you know.

I took some test for the armed services, can't remember what they called it. My councelor at school said that it was a good test to take just to practice my test taking skills. Well, I took the test and scored damn near perfect. I get a piece of mail from the armed services at least 3 times a week now asking me to join. I'm sure that once I turn 18 they'll be all over my ass :p.

Dethred · 12-04-02, 12:31 AM

Youre not 18 yet and you drive that sexy car? Holy Sh*T I need to get PSA's Coupe!
