SHOULD I JOIN THE NAVY?
|
I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school. I am also a girI. i got accepted to CSULB with a scholarship for free music lessons. I'm a fantastic tuba player and my music teachers have very VERY high hopes of me becoming a great professional musician.
However,
The navy is looking for musicians right now. Joining would really help pay for college. my family is really struggling with money. we don't have insurance so i know the benefits the extend to them would really help. And I think there's an incredible sense of pride for serving our country and wearing the uniform of a true hero. I also love the ocean even though its mysteriousness is remotely terrifying.
I haven't told my parents because i don't want to worry them. My mom would be devastated for having me gone for so long. I know this would immensely affect my mother. She is already very stressed out so i don't know if this is something that i could do to her. i think it would be a greater health risk for her than myself.
I'm also in a serious relationship with my boyfriend of 2.5 years. there's no doubt that our relationship would make it through but i see him every day and we are together all the time. I went to mexico for a week and that seemed nearly unbearable. i can only imagine how being away for months could be.
I have spoken to few people about this. They all support me and think that if it's something i really want i should go for it. they tell me i'm strong enough, determined enough, and have the mental and emotional capacity to not only be in the navy but do very well in it. I think these things to.
I'm very torn. because i want to go. but i wish i was one of those lost kids without any real goals. because i would have to drop my relationships and if i actively serve may have to postpone my academic goals.
i love being challenged, but this decision affects me as much as my loved ones.
what should i do? please help.

I didn't quite read all of that... but the insurance bit caught me. When you say "family"... do you mean brothers/sister/parents?
If so... they will probably not get benefits. To get them benefits you would have to declare them as your dependents and prove that you are paying all the bills for them to survive. Only then would they get any insurance... and that process can take several months.
As far as the education goes, I can't say much since I know almost nothing about a music career and how the Navy or college fit into that.
Good luck! |

Go for it. Its a decision you'll be glad you made. I know you don't want to hear this but....you are ONLY coming out of high school. Unless you want to be dragged by your boyfriend for the rest of your life I suggest you go out and see the world, if he is the "one", he will wait for you. In this day and age a college degree really means nothing. However, a college degree AND a navy background? Impressive. Good luck!!! |

First of all. its great that you worry about your family. but you need to worry about yourself and what YOU want to do, this is a big commitment and dont let anyone but yourself influence your decision.
think about it and if it is what you really want?. yes, the benefits are great. but that cannot be the only reason to join. |
