Convincing my mom on the Marines

[ProficientRifleman]

Just do it

Don't try to sell your mom on the idea. She's your mother and she cannot make a logical decision in this regard. She will be ALL EMOTION.

Just do it. Follow your dream. She'll be proud of you in the end.

I joined the Army in 1984. I served with the 1st Ranger Bn., and later with the 7th Special Forces Group. I had a world of experiences and opportunities as a result of my service. If I had listened to my mother, I never would have accomplished anything.

Wait til your 18 and then just do it.
But remember even the Corps is scared of your Mom.
Really.

dude, you realize that this thread is almost eight months old? i'm sure he's made his decision and he's probably off somewhere on a ship now makin' fun of squids.

Relax. I didn't check the the date of the original post. Someone else bumped it to the first page and then deleted his post...so now I look like the dick

Nevertheless, it was an interesting thread I think. I considered a career in the Medical Corps myself back when I was in med school. So the thread interested me. I still think there's lots of good info there.

Be well.
