@SteezyMug Congratulations! As a parent, I can say that sometimes we just lose it and react wrongly. Of course we all don’t know all of the dynamics of your family, but I hope that in time, your parents will respect your path. Personally, I know some kids who very much wanted to go to West Point and had amazing stats and didn’t get in. It’s awesome that you want to serve in this way and it’s a tremendous opportunity. And lastly my son is in the Army, so I am not just saying all this with no first hand knowledge of the feelings of terror that comes when your kid tells you they want to do this. It is scary but I am so proud of him and I bet your parents will be of you too. They probably already are.
