ME: NO DON'T PICK UP THE..

Sister: *picks up phone* Hello?...Mark! It's for you!

ME: Oshi..

Those Marines guys are really friendly sounding, but what's the best way to say no to them?

No thanks. I'm not interested in joining up. If this changes in the future i will get in touch with you.

Yeah, you've pretty much gotta hang up on them. After a while, they'll stop bothering with you.

Its not like they're going to kidnap you or anything

Cancelling an AOL account was the hardest thing I ever did.

I mean I wanna kill.

I wanna see gore blood and guts veins in my teeth eat dead burnt bodies I mean kill.

I started jumpin up and down yellin KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL and the shrink started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumpin up and down yelling kill KILL KILL KILL until the Seargant came down pinned a medal on me and said "You're our boy!"

I didn't feel too good about it.

Demos was listening to Cher while typing:
The Navy recruiters I've talked to were actually quite friendly, even when I explained why I wasn't looking to join at the current time. Sure, they did try to tell me about how I could take classes while I was in, but just be mature about it, and if you're not interested at all, say so and be done with it.

Its not like they're going to kidnap you or anything

Yeah, have to tell them no thank you enough times for it to sink in. Just don't go signing anything if they talk you into a meeting to go over stuff.

"KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?"

I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington."

But considering the GI Bill and other great training the Military offers, I've often wished over the years that I'd joined the Air Force like I'd originally considered...

It worked for me.

I'm not sure if being in AFJROTC made it more or less likely they'd leave me alone.

Though, you could always tell them you're gay, I suppose. Or mentally unstable. Oddly enough, I never got one call from the military back in the day. Do they just call at random, or do they have to get your name and number from somewhere?

They called me after I took the ASVAB, but after a while of politely telling them to go screw themselves, they stopped.

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War is something that I despise
For it means destruction of innocent lives
For it means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight to give their lives

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction
Then destruction
Who wants to die

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War has shattered many young men's dreams
Made them disabled bitter and meanLife is too precious to be fighting wars
each day
War can't give life it can only take it away

War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord there's gotta be a better way
That's better than
War

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

In five part harmony with full orchestration.

Except for one naval recruiter, which is still the best phone conversation I've ever had.
"Hi, is it...Carl?"
"Uh, yes."
"This is <x rank, y name> from the US Navy. Tell me, Carl: have you ever given thought to joining the Navy?"
"Well...no, not really."
"...oh. Um...uh, why not?"
"Just doesn't interest me."
"Oh. Well, bye."

Best recruitment plan in history.

"So, what're your hobbies?"
"I write music."
"You could join our band!"
"I sing."
"Oh."

And I really hated this one guy that called me at least 5 times. Their tactics really disturb me. They talk to you as if they've known you for your entire life. When I told him the army and whatnot had absolutely no place in my future, nor in my interests, he would constantly act as if he were personally hurt by my words.. Yeah.. go away peoples. Thankfully that was only while I was 18.

"We are The Folk Song Army.
Everyone of us cares!
We all hate poverty, war and injustice,
Unlike the rest of you squares!

There are innocuous folk songs, yeah,
But we regard 'em with scorn.
The folks who sing 'em have no social conscience.
Why, they don't even care if Jimmy cracked corn.

If you feel dissatisfaction,
Strum your frustrations away.
Some people may prefer action,
But gimme a folk song any ol' day.
...
Remember the war against Franco?
That's the kind where each of us belongs.
Though he may of won all the battles,
We had all the good songs!

So join in The Folk Song Army,
Guitars are the weapons we bring
To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice.
Ready, aim, SING!!!"

That night I broached the subject with my father, and he said "I will break both of your legs if you even consider joining up. Only dykes and whores for the Officers join the Marines."

I thought being around a bunch of dykes and whores sounded like fun!

The recruiter got really pissy and tried to convince me to rebel and join anyway. I told him, "my dad is an ex-Marine... I believe him when he says he would break my legs. Have a nice day!"

I honestly wonder how different my life would have been if I had joined.

I sometimes regret my choice.

Same thing, difference noted above.

And from what I've been told there are no ex-Marines. There are Marines, and then there are dead people.

Though I would tell them I was gay (not too far from the truth anyway). That kept them away for my cousin.
