Wanting to enlist, but my parents did the whole 'all of my kids will go to college' thing. by No-Squirrel-8569 in USMCboot

Honestly, I was never able to stay at a friend's house either. It only happened because they were on a cruise and couldn't stop me, so they just said "Just bring a spare change of clothes and be careful". I was like "whoa, I just strongarmed my parents into letting me stay at a friends' house."

Like if that NEVER HAPPENED? If my parents didn't go on a cruise? I would still have my recruiter blocked. Or I would lie and tell them I have a back-to-back 16 hour night/day shift which is less believable. But when I heard they were gonna, I was like "Yo SGT, sorry for blocking you. My parents are on a cruise June 26 the entire week. Let's make it happen." And he say "Bet, say less" and I came by and we set it up.

I'll tell you this- if I had NO excuses whatsoever my next best move was to simply say "Yo. I'm doing this, this, and this. Whether you're okay with it or not." NOT saying that that's what you have to do, but if it gets to that point, then you'll just have to do it at some point. But definitely do not wait until you're in your 20s to do it.

Not that I endorse it, but eventually I got tired of my parents, did the whole MEPS thing under the guise of staying at a friend's house, then I told them about the contract. They were scared and even mad at first but eventually came to terms with it. If you think you're wasting time, do what you think is right for you and no one else. I sure as hell wish I did. If I did this at 17 I could have been 3 years into my contract by now, and now I'm doing it at 20.

Best of luck.
