Life hack: I told them I was a conscientious objector when I was 18 and never heard from them again.

I was this 🤏 close to joining ROTC and thought real hard if I'd be willing to kill random strangers in exchange for tuition. The debt was worth it.

    I also almost joined. Graduated HS slightly after 9/11 and everyone had a huge boner for the military around that time. My buddy joined and referred me. I ultimately decided against it, and it was super annoying when I'd get random calls from recruiters the next like 5 years. They were very persistent. Glad I didn't join and have to go to Iraq / Afghanistan. I quite enjoy being alive.
