I'm sorry Green I thought you wanted one reason why anyone might not join the armed services.
As far as you go, you have made up your mind, and from the things if seen you post, other peoples opinions don't really make that much difference.

As far as I go, My father steered me away from serving. He figured he fought in WWII, he saw first hand friends die, innocents killed, cities destroyed. He did not think I should have to see this also. You have to remeber had I joined it would have been toward the end of the Veit Nam war. My father was against that war from the start. So he was worried that I would be sent into some kind of hell like that.
Don't misunderstand me my father is proud to have fought in WWII, but he has always told me that the are better ways than war.
So join the Navy, it will be good for you. Some people are cut out for that, I hope you are, because once your in your opinion means nothing.
