Hey, I'm thinking of becoming a navy seal when I turn 18, I haven't told my mom, but she is the most anti army person I know. I don't know how to break the news to her without breaking her heart, but I feel like its my duty to my country, and that if I die, I want to die a hero, not a wanna be rock star. How do you think I can break the news, and if so, what are good argument points. Also, if you could supply me with the mortality rates, that would be swell.
 
Well if you join the army you wont be a navy seal because as the name hints a navy seal is part of the navy. If you want to be an elite warrior join the United States Marine Corps. The training is longer and harder it also has harder standards for marksmen shipp and fitness than any other branch
 
its true once you turn 18 you wont need your moms permission to join. but you will need her support. i highly highly advise you to first of all go get all your facts straight. actually talk to several recruiters and get the facts. then take everything you have and sit down and have a real, calm, adult conversation with your mom. tell her your plans and demonstrate to her how this is going to best work for you. show her that you have goals and not dreams. then when you two have talked invite the recruiter to your house, that way you and her are in your own comfort zone, and have the recruiter talk with you and your mom. then, only then, decide what you want to do. this way you have both made an educated and informed decision.
