They call me about once a month and each time it leads to some boring conversation about how I can attend school and enlist when I don't want to. I figured I could just hang up on them but I don't wish to be impolite. So I'm looking for the one answer that'll get them to stop calling me indefinately. Of course ATOT always comes up with the best suggestions, so let's hear them!

Tell them you can't stop by the recruiting center during "xxyy" time each week because that's when you visit your psychiatrist to help your bipolar.

Join them...they'll quit calling then. And don't tell the navy you're gay, they're always looking for thailorths.

I tried that and it just goes on to some BS about part-time schooling and all these other opportunities that are available yadda yadda

Yep. They don't care if you're in school, they'll keep pressing you and pressing you.

Tell them you just filed bankrupcy, have had two DUI's in two weeks, that your boyfriend dumped you because of some rare anal VD, tell them that the U.S. government needs to be destroyed, and you have a slight speech impediment.

They will stop calling

Don't want to hijack the thread, but it sounds like lots of you blokes are getting called up - is this normal in the US? or is the millitary really pushed for numbers in iraq?

Open negotiations with them, tell them you want to start off as a officer and want a $25,000 signing bonus.
