<p>I would tell them that ultimately, you’re the one who has to go through basic combat training and advanced training and then face deployment. You’re the one who’s gonna be getting shot at (yes, even non-combat servicemen can come under fire). You’re the one who’s gonna be risking her ass to make sure her fellow men and women in uniform all come back. If neither of them has served then you should make a point that it’s much easier for them to push you into the military without knowing what it can be like. </p>
<p>Mind telling us what your parents’ reasons for you going into the military are? And what your sister’s arguments against it were?</p>
