Ok, so I've wanted to be in the CF since I could talk and I'm finally 16, and I was planning on joining the Reserves on the first day of summer. I had talked to my dad about it and he said ok but the problem is my mom is convinced the Reserve is, "a bunch of men, not a place for a 16 year old..." "I'll have to drop out of school..." "there's too much obligation, its like a cult."
I've tried to show her the facts on forces.ca but it doesn't seem to penetrate her 'House Wife' steriotype mentality. I was hoping individuals currently involved with the Reserves woulden't mind just stating a few facts and personal experiences so I might sway her thinking and join the ranks.
Thanks in advance.
