I changed my mind on joining the army?

We'll that is a lie they can deploy you either way once you sign up.

Dir Sir/ Madam,

Due to personal circumstances I am no longer interested in joining to any extent the armed forces. Please remove me from your contact lists.

Thank you for your time and god bless.

Simply tell them that you are not interested at this time. Don't threaten them with speaking to a Congressperson or some random high-ranking general because that will get you nowhere. They have enough things to deal with already for them them to care about what an undecided 18-year old thinks is harassment when it is actually normal. However, you can speak to his or her station commander if it turns to harassment; something a smart recruiter won't do with the possible UCMJ penalties for harassing someone.

You might get a reminder e-mail a few weeks later but it shouldn't get outrageous. These are usually done because someone might say no now and a month or two down the line something in their life happens that makes them change their mind and want to join, such as a layoff, a college loan or grant falling through, or even a pregnancy (married males only; pregnant females can't join at all and single parents can't join the active army and need a waiver for the reserves). Tell them you aren't interested but don't get rude or burn any bridges.

As for that Reserve recruiter; it depends on what you sign up for on if you will get to stay home or not. They do have a program that allows you to stay home for the duration you are in college up to three or four years (can't remember at this moment) and they give you $4,500 a year for tuition assistance in addition to your bonus. That is probably what he was talking about. The catch to that is that if you are failing you can be removed from the program and be subject to a deployment.

Don't tell them you're not prepared to make a decision, then. Tell them you don't want to join at all. Say something along the lines of, "After careful consideration, I have decided not to join the armed forces. This is the final decision I have come to and would appreciate if I was taken off of your mailing lists from here on out. Thank you very much for your time.

Respectfully Yours,

(your name)"

Simple. Tell them you joined a different branch. I'm in the military and I had recruiters still calling me from the Army and I simply said I'm in the Coast Guard and it stopped like that. If it's the army, say you joined the marines, if it's the marines say you joined the army, ya know, something like that. It should help.

So in certainty, you lied on your enlistment papers with the help of asserting you have been a intense college graduate. That'll get you out of the army and maximum in all probability in reformatory. or in basic terms circulate returned on your recruiters workplace and tell them you elect for to wimp out. while you're no longer desirous to circulate to the army, what makes you think of the Marines might choose on your sorry butt. How dare you insult all the boys and ladies of our militia who're in harms way each minute of daily, hundreds of miles from their better half and young toddlers. circulate connect the French. And formerly everybody else says i'm being annoying on you, i'm a adorned Disabled Vietnam Veteran who have been given spit on on the Seattle airport as I got here returned to the international, so chew me.

It depends on how old you are. If you are under 17 years old, then the recruiter should leave you alone. Tell them that you need at least a year to think it over and to call you then. Chances are high that he will lose your number by then.

Just tell them, "thank you for your time, but I have decided the army is not for me." Then if they keep bothering you tell them, "this is the last time I am telling you I am not interesting, if you don't stop I am contacting my congressman/women and senator. Believe they will stop, the last thing they want is their boss's boss to get calls from a congressional office.

With the army, I don't think you are going to be able to get rid of them by being nice. Ohhhh one more idea, tell them, your father is in the Air Force and he said there is no way you are going the Army.

Write one more e-mail stating you decided not to join the army at this time and will contact them if/when you feel you are ready.

If they keep e-mailing you, don't even read them- delete them. If you stop replying to their e-mails, they will eventually get the hint and stop e-mailing you.

Just be firm with the recruiter. you don't really owe them anything. if they keep harassing you, just say what you want to say to them.

trying to speak to their boss wont get you very far. it would be more work than it's worth.

if they harass you and make you feel insecure or threatened, talk to the local media. they will take care of it VERY quickly. the military hates media attention.

Send one email to every recruiter that is bothering you explaining that you have changed your mind. Ask them to please not contact you, that you will get back with them when you have made another decision. Then imply block there email address.
