[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd tell him I'm considering disowning him. I know it's not a popular opinion here, but I feel just as strongly that no child of mine will have a job that involves guns or the military. OP, have you talked extensively with your son about your two friends who died? [/quote] I wouldn't go this route as others have said. My DH's parents expressed strong disapproval when he expressed interest in ROTC in college and it made him even more sure of his decision. I would keep it neutral and not make a big deal of it. Fwiw my DH did ROTC in grad school and was able to commission as a lawyer once he graduated from law school. There are similar programs for those in medical school. They guarantee that the person will at least serve in their chosen field, if your DS is interested in either of those two professions. Perhaps if he is still interested in joining, put the idea of grad school ROTC in there as an option? [/quote]
