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.
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.
