step 1

ok so i went and talked to my recruiter today and started my process to get everythin goin, i go to meps on tuesday and wednesday of next week, im sooo excited. i go get a ASVAB study book and start gettin ready, then i call my mom tell her whats up....my mom is really cool wit it, i mean she's lyke hooyah(she was in the navy too) but then i call my dad....and jus lyke last night except more aggressive today he is tryin to talk me out of it, tellin me its a horrible decision and that i will regret it fot the rest of my lyfe....i dont understand how he is always so negative about the decisions i wanna make, i mean when i decided to move from the west coast to the east coast he was dead set against it and when i wanted to be a police officer he was dead set against it....i feel lyke he can never support me in anyway unless its movin to cali to live wit him.
but hey at least i got the support of my mother's side and my girl....i mean they have alwasy been the ones that really looked after me and provided for me. my father alwasy thought he could buy my love wit gifts and money, and even still he tries to do it now that im 22....but it doesnt matter cuz im not gonna let him force the path of my lyfe and future....im gonna stand on my own two feet make a decision and stick by it, the navy will teach me the skills i need for lyfe and a career....wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.
