My son wants to go into the Marines but I don't want him to go so is this the way to stop him?

He probably doesn't even have a son he just hates the United States Marine Corps.

Erudite, If your son was a homo like you, he should join the Navy...

That is horrible! Let your son be a man and let him make the decision on his own!

If your son wants to be a Marine (assuming you even have one) then all power to him. Have a nice day and tell him he is doing a GREAT service for his country.

I can understand why he wants to join the military and wash himself of the rank smell of Liberalism his home has oozed on him.

Erudite...nevermind, I'm ashamed I actually answered your question.

support your son. i want to join the military and nothing hurts more then not having the support of those that love me the most. he is going to do whatever he wants regardless what you think/say the least you can do is support him for wanting to go fight for our freedom.

your best bet in you taking him to real military base and show him what is like for real..and then let him decide as man

cause some kids join for the wrong reasons "cough" sniper..,Ranger,Seals and so on.. "cough" and end up cleaning floors and getting punish cause they cant follow rules .

You probably had the same problem when he wanted to join any group that would take him away from mommy. If your son has it in his head to join the Marines, nothing will be strong enough to change his mind. Nothing. And the recruiter will laugh. Do you think you're the first mommy to try a stunt like that? The Marines are great. The experience is great. And a career in the Marines is a lifetime of honor & brotherhood. Unlike any other branch of the Armed Forces. Stop trying to live your son's life. In the Marines, he can reach his full potential without holding mommy's hand. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Why in the world would you say something like that about your own son? That's really really messed up. I think you should just let your son make up his own mind about his future. As parents we can only guide and teach up to a point and then we have to let them make their own decisions and sometimes mistakes.

Shutterbug Mama

Nope. That won't stop them from letting him in.

Gay people can join as long as THEY don't show it outwardly.

Wont work, probably fake question. terrible idea, Legaly if he is over 18 its is his decision as an adult, do not micromanage.

You.. have an issue with heroes? Why a person would not want their son (if you even have one) to be a hero is beyond me.. you must have a problem with the Marine Corps..

DietrichVonQuint

I think that a parents attitude is easy to evaluate and the recruiter would recognize that whatever you say would be not truthful. Besides it is his life and he should do as he sees fit. Que No?

JKDY

LOL, I know if you called my recruiter saying that, they wouldn't take him.

mikecoma

All parents don't support their kids enlisting. its just what parents do. Please just let him do what he wants to do with his life

Unforgiven
