If you were my kid I'd push you to take full advantage of your capabilities and potential.
I meant no disrespect to enlisted personnel, it's just that she has many opportunities ahead of her to be successful and i do not want her to give up on them or settle on anything less than she is capable of. If enlisting was the best she could do I would encourage it.
Her cousin enlisted in the coast guard.
His grades were mediocre to poor, he was flunking out of junior college, enlisting was a good move for him. It was either that or flip burgers and live at home. I am proud of his decision and service.
If you were my kid you would live up to your potential no matter what that potential was and I would be proud of you for doing it.
The give up, take the easy route mentality is not allowed in my family.
