    When I was in high school back in 2001 or so I used to get phone calls from them. I really did not like these calls. I eventually just said that these calls make me really uncomfortable. That was it. That stopped the calls.

      I used to get like 1 call a day from recruiters from like 2003-2005 or so, asked them many times to stop calling but they didn’t for a long time.

        Same. I think they stopped when I lied and said I got aids from my gay lover.

        In reality I was a straight virgin.

      Damn. I had to tell them I was autistic and suicidal (which was only a half-lie) to make them ignore me.

      This is a good point - recruiters have zero interest in wasting their time on people who are already decided / have expressed their disagreement. The problem is that recruiting is a career stop for so many enlisted folk and not everyone follows the rules / is perceptive enough to back off given obvious and literal cues.

      And if you don’t end up in recruiting, you’ll often end up instructing @ basic training lol… life is cruel.
