Hi, I'm a 16 year old guy right now, but I want to join the marines after graduating from college. I come from a family of Indian decent (indian as in from india not natives) and my mom and my stepdad both want me to become a doctor or an engineer. Yeah yeah let the stereotypes roll in.....haha
But anyway, My mom NEVER encouraged me with anything that I ever wanted to do throughout my life. She just wants me to be something that she wants as if I were just an extension of her. Honestly, she doesn't even know what the marine corps does. She thinks that the navy, coast guard, army, marines, and air force are all on huge force who get guns and shoot at terrorists.
She is so scared of me getting drafted that she even wants me to move to Canada to dodge the drafts. I wanna join the marines really really badly, but if my mom never encouraged me with even the smallest things, how the hell do I tell her I'm joining the marines when I grow up?
