My guess was that his parents wouldn't let him go.
But that guess mainly came from my dad not letting me join the army. Something about not wanting his kid shot at etc etc.
Once you're of age your parents can't really "stop" you from doing anything, but I guess they can certainly coerce you.
When I told my mom I might want to join the military, she warned me that there was some old grandfather clause where a parent can keep their only son from joining the military. I thought it was nonsense, and if true, maybe only in the case of the draft.
I thought it was maybe that he wasn't medically cleared. I had assumed he had already talked to his parents about it.

I think I would enjoy this BCT thing.
Get me back into shape, and then some!
That is a big motivation of mine. I'm not that much out of shape, but that "and then some" is a plus ~.^

I'm by no means a great physical specimen but I graduated by some magic. If you're in pretty good shape and really want to get through it, you can. It's a lot of mind over matter. You'll think at first you can't do it, but over time you'll overcome a lot of stuff that seems hard.
If it's what you really want to do, then go for it. It can be a good way to move up and get your education and a steady job. If you find a good MOS (job) you want to do then it can be pretty good too and they can get you some training that gives you good experience for later on.
I don't know what you're doing far as AIT goes or your MOS. I'm in ordnance (mechanics and such) and planning on going officer eventually whenever I get the heck out of here.
Keep in mind also, it gets better as you go. BCT teaches you.. the basics.. AIT teaches you your job.. then the real Army is better than both. As you go, you regain more freedom and responsibility.
It'll be hard and you may feel terrible, get sick, injured etc, everyone does with the exception of a few weird people. The best thing I can say is keep motivated. the training phases suck, but it passes.
I have some good friends from basic too. It's that whole comradery through suffering kinda thing. Basic wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but it certainly wasn't easy either.

I am planning on joining the Military ( Army ) excited, pumped, and scared shitless about what will happen in boot camp lol. I haven't signed papers yet because they need to look over my medical records, and schedule me for a physical, but I know this is what I want to do, but I don't know if I can last through BCT haha :/
Any advice for BCT, AIT, war, or after the contract is over?
