Warning: this campaign is not for the easily persuaded. Recruiters will want you to sign up. Let them know you are not ready, but really interested in talking about the possibilities. DO NOT SIGN ANY PAPERS.

HOW:
Just be yourself. Ask questions. Get information. Get a free lunch. Get free physical training. Take what they offer! Don’t believe what they say. Ask hard questions. Be interested.

This campaign is not about badgering recruiters. It is solely about making friends and finding out more about the military that you don’t trust. The priority should be to hang out with recruiters as much as you can, occupy their resources, and prevent them from interacting with actual potential recruits. It’s important not to try to prove a point or provoke a recruiter into a confrontation. Be assertive. They need you, not the other way around.

Actions to take:
Schedule appointments with recruiters.
Stop by a recruiting office and start a conversation.
Call a recruiter to ask questions.
Prank-call a recruiter to schedule appointments on the other side of town.
Ask a recruiter to pick you up and then tell them you’re hungry.
Ask a recruiter to take you out to eat.
Ask a recruiter about every job listed in their “Skill Training” program.
Ask to talk to each recruiter in the office to get a different perspective.
Ask a lot of questions about the war.
Ask about all the different bases you could be stationed at. (Can you show me a map of every base I could be stationed at, and give me a detailed description of it?)

Suggestions on what to say:
“I would like to know more about the military”
“I am not interested in joining the military today but I want to know what my options are.”
“I would like to know about the job opportunities the military is offering.”
“What kind of work does that job really do?”

Over the recruiting age? That’s OK. Try some of these ideas… “My son/daughter is interested in joining the military. Could you give me some more information before I let you talk to them?”

There is wrong, and Army Wrong. Things not to say:
Do not insult the recruiter; don’t tell them they are lying or full of sh-t. Don’t tell them you are part of a “Truth in Recruiting” campaign. Don’t tell them you are an anti-war activist. Don’t name any groups or people that you organize with.
