I Got My Mommy's Blessing and Support 110%

Hi,

Two days ago I decided to be brave and bring up the subject of joining with my mommy! Nine months ago when I brought it up I wasn't completely sold on the idea of joining, I was scared and my mom was able to talk me out of it (just like she did every other time I brought up joining) well this time I went in full force. I have decided to join and I'm not going to let anyone talk me out of it or stop me from achieving this goal! I hinted around it for a few minutes until she guessed what I wanted to talk about from there on I went into facts and my reasons why. I think finally she got tired of hearing me talking about it and trying to prove to her why and she said enough! She told me that she supports me 110% and that she gives me her blessing! She said that she would be the proudest mother ever and that if this is something I really want to do then she will help me with the next step! I told her that I have already talked to my recruiter again and that I plan on going to MEPS on May 1-2. She requested that I set-up an appointment with her to talk to my recruiter because she would like to hear the facts first hand! I went by the recruiting office my recruiter wasn't there but I plan on calling her this afternoon to set-up an appointment! I was very scared about bringing up the joining topic but I must say that is went very well!

I got my mom's blessing but it wasn't the same story when it came to Brandon's. I tried mentioning it the same day that I had talked to my recruiter, he couldn't understand why I would want to join and he decided to drop the subject. Lets just say that I wasn't able to get his support. As hard as it is to say, this is a dream of mine and I hope that he supports me in this dream but if he doesn't then this relationship isn't meant to be!

I will update after my mom and I talk to my recruiter!

Heather.
