Hello, I am 14 and I am asking you how you think of what my future will be like, and how you think of it.
Me and my older brother who is 24, are going to join the army when I turn 17. Me and him share everything together, he is not any normal 24 year old.
He brought me into weight lifting 5 months ago, and I must train 6 days a week. When I turn 17 I will join the Canadian armed forces with him and after 3 years, making 45000$ canadian a year, go to collage. After you finish your session in the army you get free collage education.
We will both go to collage, and become cops. I already know how long everything will take, and the classes we must take in collage. By the time I am 24, and he is around 30, 31 we will become cops.
I will not change what I am going to do, its what I want, My dad was in Vietnam war, and my Grandad was in ww2.
What do you think about my overall of what I will do with my life? I will not change my mind.

Well, what is the point of answering if you will not change your mind? Sounds to me like you have some reservations deep down and that is why you are trying to convince yourself (and the rest of us) that you won't change your mind. My opinion is that you should not commit to one thing so young. As someone above mentioned, it sounds like these are your brother's plans, not yours.
Explore your options, figure out who you really are, be young. You have your life ahead of you. Who knows how you could grow and develop but if you choose one path now you may never get to experience other things. Having a plan may seem like the best thing but sometimes a plan can be suffocating. Believe me, you will change so much by the time you are 20 that you will hardly remember your 14 year old self. At least I did. I don't know what your brother's story is but he is in a much different situation than you are.
Whatever you choose, good luck!

I can see that you love your brother very much. I love my brother very much also. Because of the difference in your ages I suspect that these are your brother's plans and that you want to do whatever he does. What do you want to do?
You are 14 y/o now. You say you won't change your mind but most people do. Also, what is your back up plan if any of the stages in your plan don't work out?
If everything in your plan works out fine, then all well and good. At 64 y/o, I've found that many of my plans did not work out like I had planned and I had to adjust and make new plans.
My best wishes in your future life no mater what you do.

I really dont care what job you have in the future but your math is off - your brother will be 34 when your 24. He should check the age cut off for things. Also it is dangerous to aggressively weight train at 14 - your muscles are not fully developed and you could cause damage - you should consult a trainer.

I think it sounds like you've got someone that is trying to change your mind, and you need confirmation for what you want to do. If this is what you really want, I say go for it!!!! It sounds like you've got a solid plan in mind, and a career after you've served in the Canadian Armed Forces. There aren't amny 14yos out there that have a plan.
Good luck to you in whatever you chose to do in life!

It is good to have a focus, but realistically things can change and you may decide to do something else. My daughter is also 14 and thought she wanted to be a Dermatologist, she talked about that for years, and now through life experience she is thinking about becoming a teacher. Don't do something only because you and your brother made a pack to do this, do it because it is something you will love and be proud of. Good Luck =)

you are too young to have your life planned out. So much can happen. I always said i was never having children - I did. How can you know what you want to do with your life. You are your own person not your brothers shadow. why can't he go into the army now - does he need you to support him?

Sounds like you have a good plan on what you want to do. don't really see what the question is. Hopefully life will cooperate with your plans.
But remember

And when you join the army you will be called up for duty when Canada goes to war. You won't have a choice to cut duty.
