Just got another call from the marines trying to recruit me, what's the most effective way to say no to these guys?? Something that'll make them cross me off their calling list for good hopefully...

Tip: It just pisses them off when you ask them to do their best Nicholson impersonation of "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

say you are a 300lb gay man, and ask if there are any hot guys you'd be working beside.

They are getting desperate as they along with the Army haven't come close to meeting their quaterly quota of new recruits.

i don't think they'd recruit you at that weight. I'm 6'3" and 160lbs, and people call me skinny. You're emicated.

The gay option sounds really good - actually, I'd say fvck with them a little - don't bring it up, but on the background, have one of your friends, in a flaming gay voice, say something explicitly gay, and you reply in a flaming voice:

Of course when you get back on the phone, suddenly change the tone of your voice and say "oh, *cough* sorry sir, what were you saying?"

If you're serious, you have some sort of problem.

Well they raised the recruiting limit to 40 and they are offering incentivies in excess of $15,000 to sign. Problem is everyone knows now that with the stop-loss stuff in effect if you sign they won't ever let you quit. They've talked about dropping their HS diploma requirement for the first time since 'nam, that's how bad it is.
