Answer 1

it is understandable that you would want to follow in your dad's footsteps, but it is also understandable for your mom to be against it. 2005 was so recent ,I'm positive it still hurts the both of you, the best thing to do is just be complelty honest with your mom about it all, let her hear your side, and listen to hers as well, with you two openly talking about it, it will help you both feel better and reach an agreement that will work for you both. I'm very sorry you had to lose your dad, but I appreciate his service and sacrifices, and your family's as well. God Bless.

Answer 2

Let me start by saying the response from bushcrimesyndicate was totally unnecessary and out of line. That dude needs a good *** kicking. It would take a Marine about 5 seconds to accomplish it.

Son, you've obviously had a difficult time with the loss of your father and I cannot imagine just how bad that was to experience. As the father of a Green Beret now serving in Iraq I also cannot imagine the loss of my child and can fully understand how your mother feels. You have about 2 choices at his point regarding your wish to enlist.

1. Sit down and talk to your mom now. But apparently you have tried to do that and she is too distraught from your father's death to deal with it at this time.

2. Hold off on talking to her for the moment and give it some time. Which, I think you should do. You are 3 years away from doing the Marine thing and many things can happen in life before then. You could change your mind (but I doubt it) by then for example. More importantly, more time will pass for your mother to complete her mourning for your father and to perhaps deal with your request a little better. Plus (and I am not calling you immature), you will be older and wiser and able to better communicate with her at that time. It'll make things go a lot easier then. For now make it a little easier on your mom. She needs your hugs and love and no worry at this time in her life.

Anyway, I would suggest you just sit on your wishes for now and wait a couple years to discuss it with her.

In the meantime, school is all important. You need that education to become a good marine. I suggest college and become a Marine officer. I am a retired Sgt Major and believe me I wish I made half of what a retired officer makes today. I drive an old jeep, they drive a new porsche!

Good luck, son, and thank you for considering service to this great country. May God Bless your future and may HE hold your father in his loving arms.

Answer 3

Talk about the dreams with your mom. I know you have told her you want to be a Marine like your dad. Maybe the two of you could go talk to someone that can help you and your mom understand your dreams and help her understand how you feel the need to follow your dads footsteps. You do have a few years before you can join. There is always a chance you will change your mind and find another way to honor your father.

Answer 4

I had a dream I gave start off of my mouth. It felt like I had a hair in my throat (you recognize the sensation) and that i became already at teh medical doctors for a checkup. I went to the bathing room and pulled on the hair. quickly it became an entire head of toddler hair! I got here out and the commonplace practitioner pulled the toddler out the remainder of ways reason i became freaking out. It meant death. yet i'm nonetheless alive and it is been like 8 months.

Answer 5

theres hardly anyone i respect more than soldiers that go to war. I think you should wait till your a little older then have another conversation with your mother about joining and tell her your life wont be complete if you dont go to serve. tell her you want to respect your dads life.

Answer 6

Funny when my dad died, and was buried I knew where he could be found, prior to his death and for 25 years before I never knew where he was or what he was doing!!

Answer 7
