Yeah, but if you go to a good high school they send recruiters who may tell you to commission instead of only to enlist

And no they don't take "ineligible" for an answer. I didn't want to die for oil, but even if I did they wouldn't let me, but they also wouldn't leave me alone.

    I hear one can take the ASFAB, book the follow-up interviews, etc., but drop the mic on the pre-boot questionnaire that tries to suss out your "conscientious objector" leanings and never have to worry about another spam call/email (barring a draft). Or, so I hear. It's been decades, now. 😜🤌🏼

    Can't you just block the number? Or do they use a lot of different numbers.

    I've heard of kids who have had them follow them home from school or even stop them in the middle of the school hallway.

    I never had to deal with them, but they apparently can just walk into school in the middle of the day.

    People really don't understand just how dystopian the US is and how much of it we take for granted because we grew up in a place where it's normal for elementary students to pledge their undying loyalty to a flag every morning before class starts.
