If you join, he will have no other choice but to support you. I bet you are gonna regret not joining sooner. Be aware that you might go to Iraq.

Join. He will either fall in line, or he won't. It is nice to have his support, but you can't make your decisions based on his approval. You have to take charge of your life. I enlisted when I was 17, so my mom had to convince my dad to sign the consent forms so I could enlist. He died before I shipped for basic, and he always talked trash about how I had to do this and do that or I was gonna get to war and realize that I didn't have any ammo and stuff like that, my ex-husband for a while when we were having bad fights would say that the army didn't want me because I wasn't good enough, but you know what? I am a mom, been in for eight years, and my soldiers and chain of command love me and don't want me to deploy, they want me to stay here to be a mom to my kids and take care of them stateside. And think I am nuts for fighting for deployment. We are not in Vietnam, you are not going into the Marine Corp, you are not him. Do what you want to do with your life for you, not him.

Realize that if you join, you will probably be sent into a very dangerous situation. It's not just the combat/fighting part that's scary, the dying, it's what happens if you get hurt. You don't often hear about what happens to soldiers that get injured. It's nasty. Faces get shot, blasted or melted off, limbs are blown away, if you get shot in the body a certain way, you'll need a colostomy bag...ask yourself if living that way for the rest of your life is worth it. I have nothing against serving, but just remember this isn't a video game. The world situation is very tense right now and things are heating up.

I'm joining the coast guard. They can sent over seas to protect ports over there. But hey if we don't help protect our country who will. If you got your heart set on it do it. Don't worry about what other think. Your dad will get over it. My dad didn't like it either. But he is slowly coming to terms with me leaving. When I first decided to join. The only one who backed be was my husband. Good luck Girl then just do it. I’m joining the coast guard. They can sent over seas to protect ports over there.

But, if this is what you feel in your heart to do...I would imagine that your dad will support you once you were sworn in to the United States Army....being a former serviceman, he will support you....it's just that way once you have been in the military....that pride and patriotic feeling doesn't end....I know because my father was in the Air Force and the Navy, and he supported me. I joined the Navy and he was ever so proud when he say me march across the parade ground at graduation.....best wishes on whatever you decide.....
