My parents cancelled my appointment...and I'm 18!
I'm 18 years old, and I made an appointment with my recruiter about a week ago for last Saturday. Well my parents found out, and my dad called my recruiter and cancelled my appointment. He told him I was in college and he wouldn't allow me to join the military, and I'm sure he mentioned that he's pretty high up in our county's Sheriff's Office. While I am in college, I'm only taking one class. I fully intended to get my Associate Degree before enlisting, but I knew after my first day of college that I wasn't supposed to be there and so I dropped all but the one I'm taking now.
Well when I got my phone back (parents confiscated it), I texted my recruiter an apology and said I am still interested in joining (I would've called but my parents are monitoring my calls...). He never replied, and I'm afraid he thinks that I'm just doing whatever my parents want me to do and that I'm wasting his time.
Since I planned on going to college full-time until I actually STARTED college, I quit my summer job. I don't even have any money in savings to move out for a few months until I ship out, because I payed all the money to my parents towards the car I drive (they're the sole owners). They also took the car, so I'd have to walk to the recruiter's even if he DID get back to me.
What are your thoughts? Is my recruiter angry? What should I do in this situation? Thank you in advance!
