ok, i turned 17 in october and the military allows u to sign up and join. all u have to do is get ur parents to sign the papers. well im thinkin about goin to the navy's office and get the papers, but im afraid as to how my mom will react. i wanna join so i can serve, get help on payments for college, learn skills for a career and leadership skills, and so i can go all over the world, or just go to places i would like to visit. so wat can i do? or am i just too yung to even think of joinin? im thinkin that i f i cant do it now, i can do it after 4 years of college.
