There we go. Last week, I told my parents about my plans to join the Canadian army as a LOG officer. My dad, personnally, is very upset about my decision and wants me to forget about it. He has seen too many tragedies on tv about soldiers with multiple complexes, sick in their head, a leg missing... anyway you see the picture. His father jumped off the train leading them ultimately to Dieppe... None of his friends came back, you know the story.
We had a conversation about my interests, what I seek, my career goal, but unfortunately, in the end, it ended to nothing.
Well, he declared that I always wanted to be a police officer. He said, "when you degree will be done, you could join the RCMP. We have a contact in the family, he's now retired but I'm sure he could help you quite much since he was directly affected to the protection of the PM. I'll even give you 10 000$ if you have to leave home to the appropriated school."
First, I know he doesn't have 10 000$. He will most probably withdraw actions but he'll need all this money, he's 55 years old. He has no more than 5 years of work.
I can deal with this situation. Just wanted to know if anybody got into such situation. I'm sad my dad won't help me any further, but joining RCMP isn't really what's driving me.
Thank you!
