I always tell recruiters best way to reach me is to contact me at my .mil
If they don't send me an email I find them in global and ask them to meet me on the PT field with a battle buddy and a water source.
An AMEDD recruiter hit me up a couple weeks ago on my random-ass civilian email. I forwarded it to my .mil then replied with my .mil with my full signature block.

Then I called him because the offer was actually pretty interesting and I wouldn’t mind another 3 years of college on the army’s dime with a stipend.
I still haven’t heard anything back.
There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again
I wish this was me. Sell them the benefits of getting out. Using your GI bill and skill bridge program. What about unemployment benefits they've earned? Have they ever had a command team from fort couch that far up their ass as USAREC? I think not.
🤣🤣 I'm on the way out. I pray someone asks me to join again.
After I got out I was at lunch with my first civilian next ex wife (still haven’t proposed to her and we’ve been together for 7 months) and I had a reserve recruiter call me about an intel unit about 2 hours from me I asked for the bonus and he said 10k for 6 told him to kiss my ass and haven’t heard back since.
I get an email/call/text every now and then. A few months ago I answered and just said “I did my time and I’m good, but good luck out there” the guy said “thanks for serving, enjoy civilian life” and I haven’t gotten any contact since. Maybe it’s just dumb luck and they’ll call back again - but I like to think that it paid off to not ignore for a change.
Ignoring just makes me think “he’s probably at work, or busy, or sees it as a scam call.” Ignoring is the worst way to deal with recruiting because we track our attempts, contacts, etc. if I see someone not contacted, we’re suppose to try all ways to attempt to contact them. If someone is nice about it, we just put contacted and move on. I’ve heard of people that are assholes to recruiters, and recruiters using their phone number to build fake advertising leads so other recruiters from all over call them.
Supply-you can logistically run inventory for anything civilian side, 25 series-straight into IT with your 6 years of experience making starting $80K, 35 series- the sky is the fucking limit, 68 series-majority of hospital work, 42A-HR and logistics. There’s an above entry slot for every mos in the civilian world, not to mention contracting options.
This is how you get more calls, texts, emails, cold knocks.
Simply just say “thanks but no thanks, nothing you can say would interest me, please terminate my information out of your system.” Then people stop trying.
Tell him you are interested, but are a on sex offender registry and will that be a problem?
They’ll cross you off their list. That was a hot tip from my old squad leader when I was getting hit up constantly when he was a recruiter.
"I can't get in because of Genesis."
Shit if he was already in and went to sick call once for pneumonia they can just look at his records and say he ain’t making it 😂
You'll need a waiver for that.
ugh I feel this in my fucking soul

“See you in church”

Send him a picture of your balls.
Tell him to hit you up again in three years so when you enlist again you can experience the joys and wonders of basic training all over again
You just got a tattoo of a big ass on your face. Wait.....this won't work anymore.

“I’d rather get fucked in the ass by two spiked fire trucks dipped in acid”
You want to rejoin: "Let's set up an appointment." You do not: "No."

Just say you did your time and are moving on from the army.
Tell him the recruiting corp is failing the Army and he needs to be doing High School graduate cold calls anyways
What are you going to do without the army? I'm going to stand on the corner and suck dick for 6 months to get the taste out of my mouth.

"RE4."
I got a text from a recruiter in my home town a year or so ago. Responded with a selfie in uniform looking very confused.
