Just out of high school have been planning to go into US armed forces, but have recently had a change of heart involving my dad who supports me fully but has been in extremely bad health. I don't feel he has that much longer based on our genes and we never spent that much time together because he worked so much. I really want to spend a few more years with my dad but people are trying to talk me into going regardless. This is stupid right? I don't think taking care of my dad for a few years will ruin my life.
