| | So me and my mom have already talked to the recruiter and she is still saying no and i can figure out why yea sure we are in the middle of war but i want to go in for computer maintenance so i wont see the action maybe in specific situations. I will get plenty of benefits from it. I will further my education and then have something to fall back on when i get out. I have sat with my mom and told her when im 18 i will join whether or not she likes it. I want her to let me do the DEP (delayed entry program) so that way i will get a headstart on all the other recruits that didn't do it.So i was wondering if there is any other way to help get her on board with the situation?
its Corps first of all.
Tell her where you can go in life with the Marines
to hundreds of cities, become disciplined, strong and smart
no way in hell, i'm with your mother here. go to college.
Um...I don't really think you understand that war is war. If you join, it means you will go over seas. You will have a bullet graze you, you will have the opportunity to see others die, you will have the chance of an important part of your body ripped or blown off your body, but maybe not. Who knows you could be one of the only Marines that sits behind a desk somewhere, just kidding...that's doubtful. Listen, the new military isn't like your old military when we were never in some kind of ongoing fight with cavemen. Plus, the new military is full of those just like you who want that money and benefits but would absolutely crap if they say their buddy get creamed while standing next to you and seem to freeze when danger comes their way. Military used to have the instinct to kill or be killed, now it's run for the hills and sue if you get your feelings hurt. If you join, join for fighting that way you already expect to go in and possibly not come out. Think hard. The reason that these recruiters are giving you so much to get in is because they know that dying or some kind of dismemberment may be an outcome of your fate.

i can honestly say i know what you area going through. i was going through it when i joined the military years ago with my father. he didnt like it cause it was right after 9/11 and was very freaked out. honestly if i was you i would think about what branch of service you want to go in. yeah all branches have great benifits but honestly the air force is the best to go in and they see much less combat than any other branch and they take really good care of their people. i am in the navy but i promote the air force over any branch. good luck with you mom. when you are 18 you are free to make your own choice though.
I will give you the reverse answer to your question. Your mother loves you and does not want to worry every day that you are gone, for your life. I retired from the Coast Guard with 20 years. It was heck on my family. I lost time with my Dad while he was living and with my mother. I lost time with my oldest two kids when they were little. I would not want any of my children to be in the military although my oldest son was in the Army and in Korea for several years. I wanted to jump up and down for joy when he got out after his 4 years were up. If your mom did not like you, she would be happy that you were going. There all alternatives out there. Grants and scholarships will get you into College. You don't have to be rich to go on to school after graduating from High School. The Military is also very hard on marriages. The time apart is very hard. But it is your choice. Good luck.

A few things you should point out to your mom is that you don't have any right to enjoy the freedoms of being an American if you aren't willing join the military to defend those freedoms. The military is the one place where people go as children and come back as adults. It will not only provide you with training for a job but it will turn you into a responsible, mature, organized, grown up. My husband joined when he was 19 and it turned him into a man. He was abusive and lazy before the Army and he is a respectful hard working dedicated man now. My father served as well and so have every male member of my family for as far back as I can trace. Good luck and even if you are using the military to advance yourself in school or job training it's still a good way to do it and it's your duty as an American. I think it should be required that all students graduating high school and not heading straight to college should join the military.
I am assuming that you are a young man so I will begin with... Young man what are you thinking? I can appreciate your desire to serve our country however considering that you are looking for a career in computers might I suggest the Air Force or Navy. Both have outstanding technical programs and you don't get all the baggage that comes with being a Marine. The marines have a tough job and computer maintenance isn't it. You are an infantryman first. You have no obligation to join any branch even if you have contacted a recruiter. Let the recruiter be desperate not you. They need you worse than you need them. All of the services are offering great incentives to join. So slow your roll a little and do your homework. DO NOT run to the recruiter even after you turn 18. They will short you on benefits and options. Good luck.. Should we trust a US Army recruiter? - Yahoo! Answers:: Aug 5, 2008 He's ASKING for my help, I'm not hovering or doting on him.

Parents are naturally worried about their children. I'm over 50 and my parents still worry about me! It kills me to give a potential jarhead some help, but it's your time to waste (or you can go ARMY). If you have a driver's license, you can point out to your mother that this year alone, about 49,000 people will die on American roads; with 5 times that number injured. Contrast that with our total losses and wounded in this dammed fool's errand. You are statistically safer in Iraq 5 times than in a car in America.
You need to really educate yourself about the *Corps and the reasons you want to join. Be very thorough with her. Try your best not to get defensive because the reason she doesn't want to join is she doesn't want anything negative to happen to you. She cares, and that isn't wrong. Tell her that it is very important to you, and if you join, you really need her to be there to support you and know that she's proud.
To "freaky...": Some people can't join the military, or for some people it just isn't the right choice, and I wouldn't want people serving in my defensive force if they did not want to be there. I don't think forcing people into service when we don't need it (we have plenty of volunteers right now, obviously) is unnecessary. I believe that I do deserve the freedoms, and I very much respect everything the military does and support it wholeheartedly.
