<p>I don’t know why these people are telling you to still go into air force or telling you it’s “not that bad”.
If I read the post correctly, you have made the life decision that you will NOT be joining the military or ROTC. </p>
<p>I think as time passes on, you just have to stick to your decision, even through Your parents’ incessive nagging. You may not be able to stop them from acting like you’re going into the military, but really the simpliest solution is to not give in and just apply for the colleges you want. It’s so cliche, but it is YOUR life. Your parents do not have the right to make such a drastic decision for your future. If they can’t help you go to the college you want, get student loans and apply for financial aid and scholarships.
I hope this helps. Remember, all things must pass. You’re parents will get over the fact that you’re not going into the military.</p>
