[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 527409"] Janet, it was not my intent to hurt you. And yes, I did not want my son to join the military right out of HS. He was being heavily recruited by a HS military recruiter-one of his friends did sign up-and the recruiter encouraged that friend to get a group of his fellow football buddies (difficult child included) together to work out at the military center. Of course it was a recruitment ploy and my son & a few of the other boys got a little "star struck". The recruiter was slick, the boys naive. I was very concerned difficult child would sign away 6 years and that he would be stuck. This was after he had chosen a college and he was a great student.. We implored him to wait until he graduated college and go in as an officer. Regardless, if he had signed, I would have been worried but I would've accepted it. I have nothing against military. My father in law was a marine and h was born at Camp Pendleton! I was trying to make the distinction between a son making a life choice (career) that dismays a parent etc versus choosing to live in a downward spiral. (drugs) [/QUOTE]
