Most likely is dirty/coroded terminals: take them off (ground first) and clean them (you can get a battery terminal wire brush @ any parts store). Replace them (pos first). If that's not it, it will take some troubleshooting. Your symptoms as described point to this or loose terminal(s)

Here are some questions.
Once you start it does it have lights/stereo etc...? Yes lights and stereo
What happens when you turn the key? (noises, clicks) Nothing, no clicking or lights
Does it happen everytime you turn it off? Yes
Do you have a battery gauge on your dash board? Yes If so what does it read running? I didnt look when it was running
And while off what does it read with the key in the ACC position? I didnt look
Have you cleaned your battery connections yet? Not yet, I'm going check the ohlms reading as pre Swagger before then clean them w/baking soda and a wire brush tomorrow and see what happens.
Let me know and Ill get back to ya. Ive had issues with this stuff about 6-7 different ways over the past years in both my jeep and my Ram.

Definately sounds like a bad ground. I had a Blazer with the same problem after installing a Body Lift. It turned out to be a braided ground wire that ran from the back of the block to the firewall. It was stretched from installing the body lift and pulled off the firewall. Once that was fixed, it was perfect again.
