i am 14 turning 15 i am taking high school classes for MCJROTC i am serious and dedicated about joining the Army. i wake up 4:30 in the morning and get ready to ride my bike 3 miles to school. once there i change into my pt uniform and run for 3 miles if i finish early i continue until 7:00. i do push up sit ups every night and morning.i play football and to be honest i joined the football team to become tougher for the army(it helpped a whole buch and i am pretty good too). i lift weights every time my school has opens the gym.
my mom thinks that i am only taking JROTC so my college applications will look better and she made me promise to never join(fingers crossed). she hates anything that has to do with the military and she my brother is a real bigot against the US Army, he told me "i will never talk to you ever again you disgusting war criminal" my dad never cared about me and thinks i will never pull it through(he would rather have me be a lawyer). my mom is ready to take me out of JROTC if i mention joining.
i have talked to the recruiters who come to my school and talked to the Major and even he sees i am trying to make a change. only one of my cousins support me since he wanted to become a Marine but his mom kicked him out the house until he changed his mind. All my friends support me and wishes me the best of luck.i plan on joining either way with or with out my families support but i do not want to walk this path alone with out the support of my family. can anybody help me persuade my family to support me instead of disowning me. i am afraid if i approach the situation not only will my mom pull me out of the class but she will also pull the guilt trick by bring up God and what if i die and all the bull she will use to make me feel guilty as she usauly does...
please is anyone can help it will be greatly apprecieated and it would help a lot. Thank you...
i just like to say i am serious about joining and i would like my parents to know i am not going through a phase. if anybody can give me advince it will help a bunch.
