Hi,
I am a junior in high school and I am strongly considering joining the AFROTC program. However, my parents are STRONGLY against it. When I even mentioned the word ROTC to my mom a few months ago, she started crying and made me promise I wouldn't do anything in the military. I was at dinner with my dad the other day, and I told him what I wanted to do. He said he can't support my idea and that he doesn't agree with it.
What should I do? I really don't want to do this without the support of my parents. I was thinking I could write a letter to my mom explaining my plans, because I never get anywhere when I try to talk to her.
Thanks for your time. (link)

First of all, if it is ultimately YOUR decision, I would not pass up this great opportunity. You didn't mention if you were going on a scholarship or not. If you are going under a scholarship, and you complete the program, you are more than likely obligated to the military. I believe at some point you don't complete the program, or you change your mind before completing the program, you must pay back all of the tuition to the provider. Always read what you sign. If you are paying your own way, you will not be obligated to the military. Nevertheless, it's a great program; and once you graduate, your parents will be proud of you.
