Think First!
Countering the military presence in OUR schools
A Project of South
Bay Mobilization.
At a time when the current Commander In Chief and his Administration
have betrayed the trust and honorable service of our troops by misleading
them into war, we believe it is a dangerous time for our youth to
look to the military for service, education and vocational opportunity.
We further believe there are alternative ways to peacefully serve
your country and community. Our aim is to provide students and all
young people with information that will enable them to make a more
informed decision.
Here's an overview of each section of the site:
The Draft & Conscientious Objection
Lots of good background information on the draft and on how to prepare
your Conscientious Objector file.
Organizing
on Campus
Information on:
- campus military access issues, including the legal rights we
have to provide alternative information;
- campus organizing strategies
- the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)
- JROTC and ROTC
- Conscientious Objector Training Corp
(COTC)
- Delayed Entry Program
(DEP)
- the clause in the No Child Left Behind that requires high schools
to provide access for recruiters and schools to turn over contact
information for EVERY high school student
Recruiter Tactics, Tools &
Lies
Pretty self-explanatory
Getting Out of the Military
