Answer 2

okay, the navy is probably the best for you, since the army and marines are always in combat.  My regards to all the marines and armymen who read this.  student loans help, and assoicitate degrees help a ton.  However, you have many factors in your life that you need to change in order to go into the military.  First, don't smoke weed.  In the video that I watched on youtube, about navy bootcamp, you have to get tested to see if you have drugs in you.  You have a urine test.  second, don't be a prostitute.  In the navy and having AIDS or HIV is not a real charming companionship, if you know what I mean.  next, have a group or something, like a club, that will help you become sober.  Join a hair club or a church youth group (volenteer) or find trustful freinds anywhere else.  don't worry about your mother, she loves you and wantes the best for you.  But the navy will take you around the globe, to differant places and a to0tal adventure.  God's will will open up to you only if you let him open it for you.  I will pray for you.

It sounds to me that you are wanting to go into the Navy because you want more direction in your life and you don't believe you have many other options. In my opinion you are making a mistake by not thinking more creatively. If you want to travel there are many programs that let you travel and work abroad. For example, one of my friends is going to Austrialia since they give US citizens work visas pretty easily. There are also programs in South Korea where they pay all of your airfare and visa fees if you agree to work teaching English for a year. Perhaps you can look into similar ideas. If you decide that the Navy is something you truely want to do-- not just for lack of a better plan-- then go for it, your mom will forgive you eventually.
