Why don't you just go to a gas station, wait for some cops to show up, pump your gas and drive off without paying. Then you can lead them on hi speed police chase, and let them gun you down. At least you would have died for the same reason all the other soldiers are dying and you would have died in your own country. Your parents are right. You must be pretty stupid. What in the heck are you thinking? Duh!!!

You don't have to fight if you are in the military. There are lots of support positions, like personnel, medics, even veterinary techs. Have you looked at all of the career options in the military and talked them over with your parents? Do you think they will really disown you, or is that a threat to keep you out of the military? Ultimately, you have to decide how important it is to you. If it's a life-long dream of yours and you don't do it, will you face a life-time of regrets? The military is tough, and there is back-stabbing and gossip and all of the crap that goes on within any other group of people, and this is in addition to the hardships you will face, even if you aren't in a "fighting" MOS (job) then you can still get deployed. However, I know some people who love it and thrive and advance and make it a career, others who get in, see if they like it while also getting money for college, then get out. Just give it some thought, write out a list of pros and cons and make which decision will be best for you. Good Luck to you whatever your decision.

Research your options, I am a military brat (a kid who' parent was in the service) I know what the military can and can not do for you. The best advice I can give is if you are under 18 then wait, listen to your parents. At 18 if the military is still what you want then sit down with your parents and explain to them why you want to do this and what benefit you will have for doing so. Showing them what you found through your research. If they still object nicely tell your parents that you indeed love them but you have to follow your heart, and also tell them you don't want your life decision to ruin your relationship with them, and you would like there blessings. If they can't give it then simply reaffirm your love for them then follow your heart. Your parents will have a hard time accepting your decision but in time will learn to live with it. They most likely will not disown you for it time heals all wounds. Give them time if they react negatively.
And another thing you will not be blamed if things go wrong. You will be doing your job and following orders.........
Hope you make your decision for you not others... Follow your Heart.

#1 respect your parents - #2 do some research - There are branches of the military - Navy - AirForce - Coast Guard in particular where women are less likely to be deployed in combat areas. Also, there are jobs in those branches that remove you even further from combat but still allow you to serve and be a part of our great military. #3 once you have determined if there is a fit for you that would also help your parents accept your desire speak with them let them know you have solotion that could solve your problems. #4 if they still are against the move, wait until you are an 18 and let them know that you have decided to follow your dream. If they love you as much as I love my children I would be very worried about your safety but very proud and supportive of your decision.

what is more important to you? Joining the military or letting your parents run your life. What do you mean when you say disown you? Do you mean cut you out of their will or do you mean never speak to you or or listen to you for the rest of their lives. I joined the Air Force when I was 17 against my moms wishes BUT she loved me until the day she died 40 years later.

Military is a very honorable position when you fight for freedom and security of your nation.
When it involves protecting the innocent.
Think about how you will feel about bombing kids homes and schools who wishes that everything was like it used to be with their family and country.
Sure the guys are nice but how well will you be treated after they have killed the innocent.
When you come crying back home everyone will hate you - if you come home.

I saw an interview with the Woman that is the top Female General. Not much of what she said can be repeated in this forum.
Bottom line gross. I would not want my sister doing those things . Especially in a mixed public condition.
Think about no privacy. Think about absolutely no privacy. Then imagine living with a large group of men that have no regard for you. With no privacy.

you should make your own opinions when you are 18 . If you are not 18 you should value your parents advice and give them the benefit of the doubt , you are to young to make a decision like this and your parents are trying to help you . Also they probably don;t want to see you get killed which happens to be a good chance of nowadays

I agree with your parents but if you are old enough, it is your life and you have to make that decision for yourself and not just to please them.
When the time comes tell your parents that you love them but being in the military is what you want and need to do.
They of course don't want you in the military because they fear for your life. That is a reasonable fear. Respect it. Be kind to them.
And be kind to yourself. Your life is more valuable than a belief or any emotional feeling,

Be yourself anything else is suicide. Family is important, but sometimes we need to find a loving family outside of relatives. Family is about unconditional love. That means loving you regardless of your choices, it may not mean helping you make them though. My sons have made many mistakes...one of them is very angry with me and the other is in prison, but I go right on loving them, regardless. I don't show that love by supporting some of their choices, but I do honor their right to make them. And when asked, I offer my opinion or my experience. If not asked, I shut up.
"Those that discourage your dreams likely have abandoned their own."
Most likely, they are just afraid what might happen to you, because they love you. Don't assume that you know their reasons or responses. Make sure you are all communicating clearly and honestly.
Good Luck.
