| This is a tough one for a kid to go through. It is always tough when you have a dream and nobody else seems to follow it. The thing is, there is a lot of people out there that face those same problems. A lot of parents have the same thought of the military as your father does. Most parents for kids your age, grew up with Vietnam. Either they were there, or knew somebody that was. You have to follow your dream, your parents obviously will not like it, but this may be something you will have to do. Tell them how you feel, state your case, and just let them know that this is something you feel you have to do. They may not like it now, but will (as all parents do) understand.
Good luck. |
