Save your child from military recruiters' phone calls to your home.

Here is the the enlistment form with which you sign away your constitutional rights and perhaps even your life to military recruiters. We offer a copy of it here so you can look it over in detail, something the military recruiters would rather you not do. Here is the file.

Below are links to OptOut forms. The first two are for LAUSD in English and Spanish. The second two are generic forms that should work anywhere. Print the forms out twice, fill out and send one copy to the Counselor/Principal of your child's school. This should be done with the first week of enrollment at the start of the school year (LAUSD by October 21). Keep a copy for yourself and call the Counselor to make sure that they processed the form correctly.

Some school districts may provide their own forms for this, but they must obey your request no matter how you submit it. You can write your own letter or use the one below. Use a letter or form for each individual student and keep a copy. It is not required by law, but we recommend having a parent or guardian also sign:
