I'm a 17 year old girl and my parents aren't going to allow me to move out on my own when i graduate high school except if i join the military. Now I'm considering it. But I don't know if it's a bad idea to join just so I can move out. I'm not the fittest person ever. I'm a slow runner and not very strong. But I used to be in tae kwan do and swimming so I know I can do the work, just not very well. I wouldn't be interested in combat. My dad, grandfathers, and mom's brother were in the military and loved it but I would be the first girl. I want to join the military to make me a stronger more independent person and I completely respect people in the military. I'm not sure if my reasons are too petty to really join so I was wondering if anyone has gone through what I am and ended up loving or hating being in the military. Or what branch/job I should consider looking in to. Thank you!
Should I join the military?
