    HELP!!!!! My son says he wants to join the US Military when he turns 17!!!!!!



    My son (15) just informed me that he has the desire to join the US military in 2 years!!! As most here can imagine, this is not QUITE what I had expected.

    What should i do? I can't let him go! What if he were to get hurt or killed?! Plus, I hear the intellectual capacity of most officers is.....LOW

    What should I do?!?!

    Slap him on the back and tell him, "I support you!"

      Tell him it sucks to be an enlisted man. If he wants to be in the military, he wants to be an officer. Go to university and finish a degree first.

          He may have problems getting a security clearance.

          Plus he is just saying this to spin up Dad.

                  He can't do **** when he's 17 unless you or his mom sign.

                      Bull**** for the most part. The military schools in the US are usually near the top for the various fields of engineering. Even in other areas they are considered good. For example, the Virginia Military Institute is the best public liberal arts college in the United States. It's also where I'm going to be in a month.

                        Well, if you have this attitude around him, it doesn't surprise me in the least why he wants to join...

                            Yea, why did this "son" just appear today? How come you haven't talked about him before?
