Be responsible call him back tell him you're not interested and not to call you back. Going to see him is just a wast of his and you're time.

Unless you are interested just a little.

I agree with schmazjmd. If you weren't a little curious you wouldn't be asking us this question. Just remember you have to be really hard core to be a Marine. I had never thought of joining either. When I was about a year out of H.S. an Army recruiter called my house. I met him and talked to him, 7 months later I was leaving for basic training in Ft. Jackson, SC. I spent 4 years in the Army (active duty). It was the best thing I have ever done in my life.

Depends if you think you are tough enough...

You must be a little bit curious or you wouldn't have asked here, right? :-) No harm done in listening - all you have to do is say no.

If your heart isn't in it, don't go. The Marine Corps is a lifestyle, not a job, so if you are not committed to it you will only be miserable and so will your fellow Marines.

if you think you might like it then go listen no harm. but if not tell him no dont waste his time or yours.

Cold calls are a Marine recruitment tool. My hubby used to make over 300 calls a week when he recruited during the Gulf war. Really, it's up to you. But why go if all you want to do is satisfy your curiousity or poke fun? Recruiters have quotas they have to fill. It's deadly serious at a time like this. Don't waste his/her time...

First thing just so you know this-it is Marine Corps with ca[ital letters. The fact you ask other people instead of just saying No would indicate you have some curiosity about the military. If you really have none and are sure about that then go ahead and go to hear what he has to say. I spent twenty years in the Marines and it probably kept me out of either a dead end job or prison, this is where most of my "running buddies" ended up who did not go into the military. As far as life in the Marines, and I would guess any of the military branches go, some will be like me and love it, some will do their time and the leave for something else and other people will hate it so it really is what you make of it an how you let it effect you. The Marines are different in many aspects but if they don't interest you then you might consider a different branch or none at all.

If you have no interest, why waste his time? Just tell him no. He probably will call several more times. Just give him the same answer. Eventually he will leave you alone.

just go listen to what they have to say. usually you get free stuff when you go. if you have no desire of joining then at the end say thank you for your information but i have made my desicion. during the summer i got calls from almost every branch, and for each one i told them i already had plans.

It doesn't hurt to listen to what they have to say. This way you will know what your options are if you should ever have a change of heart. Just do not sign anything. Just smile and thank them for taking the time to answer your questions. You will be facing much tougher salesman that this in your life and now is a good time to get some practice.

I remember the first call I got from a recruiter asking me if I wanted to join the Marine Corps. I told him not to call back because I didnt want to join and ended up changing my mind. I hope to go officer soon. Unless you really arent interested, tell him not to call anymore.

Do you want to join, even a little bit? If you do you should listen to the recruiter and go meet up with him, you'll thank yourself later. If you don't think that the Marines are right for you, don't join and you'll thank yourself later. If you want to do this it'll be the best experiance of your life. If you don't want to join then it'll be one of the worst. I'd say listen to the guy though, it's no pressure to join or not to join. See if it's right for you, and if it isn't, say that your sorry and that you aren't interested.

Well you must be at least a little curious or you would not be asking a question here.
Of course you have no desire to join. You don't evan know what they can offer you. Why not sit down and talk with the guy for awhile and see if there is something there for you. At least you'll know what, if anything they have that interests you.

At least you won't be sitting around when you 60 and still working "what if" I joined the marines or another service.

My "friends" all told me I was crazy for joining the Navy.
Well I retired at age 40 and moved to a tropical island here in the Philippines and do nothing but collect my monthly paycheck and whatever else I want to do. They all have 2 jobs and will be working past 60. So who's crazy ?

Don't bother. They'll do every thing they can to try and get you to join. They'll even make it sound alot better than it actually is. the only way I got lucky when they came after me is my parents wouldn't sign the paper work.

Oh yeah the navy was the worst time of my life. I'm Only gratefull for the friends I mad and the free college I get.

Don't go, all they can offer you is a chance to get your head blown off in Iraq.
