It taught me independence, strength, integrity...and took me out of Beloit, Wisconsin and a probably life of poverty. I met my husband....so without the Army I would not have my children. I would not trade my time in the military for anything. However...I also served in peace time. Would I stop my son from going into the military? No, as long as he/she did this with thought and purpose. It is not a decision you make without thinking about it. I would not stop him. I would go to the recruiter's office with him however so he doesnt get it handed to him. The fact that this is war time does not sway my decision. We have to have soldiers/marines/sailors and airmen....and their service makes them heroes. The only thing I can say is, this is NOT a decision that is made lightly. Because once you take that 2nd oath, you are property of the United States government.

As much as your heart breaks to see him go( God I know how much it hurts ), you have to let him choose his path in life.It is his life and he is the one who have to make himself happy. You gave him wings, let him fly. ~ A military Mom PS (Facebook is awesome to keep in contact even when over seas)

When entering, he too had no idea what he wanted to be, other than being interested very much in meteorology. Though we both felt that it's a flaky field, decided to support him. Around the end of the first year, he began talking about joining the military. We sat down and talked at length. We told him that though we are upset by it, we will absolutely support him if this is truly what he wants to do. We left it at that. He never brought the subject up, and has changed his major, leaving meteorology as a minor. Maybe if you tell him to take his time, think hard, since there is no going back, he might reconsider... Good luck.

Welcome to the forum's Blondeandhorny and Paradigm! :) Thank you both, we have talked to him about every possible option that we could think of, one of which was the Peace Corp, but needs a college education ...and I'm pretty sure he is dropping out of college as I write this. Funny you mentioned how safe we try to keep them from minute one!!! It was bad enough for me when he joined the high school football team and I watched him under the heap of big big kids every Friday nite, all I could say was ...this is just the biggest oxymoron of motherhood I could ever have imagined! Said worse things during ER trips and a MRI for a spinal injury. lol! Needless to say, I was a terrible football mom. Not sure how I may comprehend being a military mom. But, I will support him whatever he chooses ...and ...keep praying he chooses something different with less risks. Just waiting for now... Thanx again.

It's not something he really 'wants' to do, which is something I think is very important to want when making such a committment as enlisting into the military. He doesn't like college and doesnt know what he wants to be or do ...and is very worried he will get lost and 'not become a man'. I think there are many options between college and military during this war, but I cannot get him to see that. He thinks he will be a good soldier. (so do I actually) But I also think he would be amazing at a million other things, with less risks... He doesnt think he is good at anything else. I disagree... But I'm just a mom. A sad one too... :( I understand how you felt Carrie. Maybe it would have been better, or maybe it wouldn't have... there's no way to know. For me neither... I will support whatever he decides. I just hope I have shown him as many options as possible.

User Details are only visible to members.	I was born a military brat, and grew up to be a military wife, and now run a charity to assist other military families in their time of need. As a child I had the adventure of living in other countries and meeting people from all over the world and different walks of life. I also watch my father and our family friends go off to war, and seldom had my father present for birthdays and holidays. As a wife, I again watched my loved ones go off to war, but this time it was my husband and father of my children, his brothers, and our family friends. Some men came back (luckily my husband was among them). Some didn't. All of those who returned were changed for life, some in good ways and others not so good. I raised our children alone and told them of their father and Uncles far away and the heroic deeds they were doing. I truly have experienced both the joy and heartbreak a military life can bring. With 3 children who are quickly growing up, I fear I too will one day be sat down and told they my children also wish to follow in those brave footsteps. When/if this time comes, yes, I will be frightened for my children, and yes, I'll be fearful of what might happen. Regardless, I will be proud and honored that my children want to pursue such a noble lifestyle, and I will support their choice.
