A bit of a Dilema

Hope i spelt Dilema right..

But okay.. this is my Dilema..

MY last year of School is next year.. Im planning on doing it.. Then afterwards my Plans are to join the Army.. My dad REALLY wants me to. (History of Armed forces, Grandad in WW2, Great Grandad WW1 and 2, Grea Great Grandadad or something was in the spanish boat wars haha..)

Anyway.. Idunno why but i dont really feel like joinning the army now.. i use to.. but not really anymore.. i mgiht change my mind and really want to but right now I dont.. But im going to if i dont want to anyway because in im afraid I will dissapoint my dad and let my Family generation of War bound Men go to waste sort of thing.. I want to carry it on.. My brother didnt so its up to me.

I also have a gf.. IF it lasts to the end of next year well.. its going to be a hard descission.. so yeah..

Help?

Well if you don't want to go, you shouldn't. If your dad isn't an arsehole, then he'll support you. I wouldn't go until you're good and ready. You can always join the army after next year. After ten years even.

Hope that helped

Geez, that seems like a hard one. I personally would never EVER put my own life in danger, but I'm a ***** and anything dangerous I usually pass on. :lol:

But if you don't want to, why do it? What is the point in going to war anyways? Okay, maybe it is because I am Canadian, and we don't have much pressure on having to join the army, but again, I wouldn't risk my life. I am a wuss, I know. :lol:

Don't join if you don't want to. To much pressure for one dude.
Don't go for the wrong reasons.

You can always wait a bit and live it to life to its fullest for awhile, then go.

And at least being a wuss will keep me safe! ***** away! :lol:

My 7 step program:
1. finish school.
2. party your arse off then go to jail for a few days.
3. settle down with your gf (and bang her if you wish) and party a little bit, but get a good financial future set up.
4. marry her, and live a few years with her, have a son and/or daughter.
5. talk to her, and go to the army.
6. dodge bullets.
7. come home and settle down as a war hero.

Re: A bit of a Dilema

Do not join the army because someone else (especially a parent) wants you to because the moment you do there is absolutely no way to back out. It is a commitment and it will make or break you depending on how you do.

You also have to realize that if you join the army you could quite possibly be put in a dangerous combat situation depending on where they station you.

My dad was in the army as well and to do this I have made it very clear to him (despite all his pressuring me) that it isn't going to happen.

This is a choice that you should make, don't let someone else make it for you.
If you dad is disappointed; he'll get over it.
If he doesn't get over it; he's not much of a father.

as a rule i always say **** the army. **** the army **** the army **** the army. but, its up to you. do what you want, not just because of what your family wants. what your family thinks of you souldnt ride on one dicision. do what you want. its your life.
