im offering up my daughter.
18.
Into MMA and kickboxing.
Had a Soccer scholarship and 3 year ROTC scholarship, but I got a text from my wife that she called her college coach while I was on the road and told him she was enlisting in the Marines.
Looking for a sucker.... I mean a nice, upstanding guy, who is up for a "challenge".

As the father of a 4 year old girl this sounds like a dream come true.
 
True story: I tried to sign up for the Navy during my senior year in HS. I was only 17 though, and my parents absolutely refused to sign the early-in papers.

Proof that my parents love me and I really need to say "hey thanks for not signing those papers" next time I see them. :D

I don't care what service you want to join...but turning down free ROTC money, a college experience, and an officer paycheck to enlist has never, ever, ever made sense to me.

Unless you *really* want to shoot Arabs. Seriously.

Show her the payscale and the time value of money, for the love of god.

Hell tile some floors in your house, buy a buffer and let her practice operating it. Wake her up at random times of the night and have her stand watch over the garbage can. Buy an old car with chrome everywhere and a can of neverdull, have her polish the chrome daily. If she still likes it, then maybe, just maybe, enlisted ranks is the correct choice for her

@Blackhawk Is there a young male Marine in the picture, who you don't know about, that she plans to follow from duty station to duty station? I've seen young folks of both genders join up because of a love interest.

Also - if your daughter is serious about this, and has that sense of a calling so many of us felt before we joined, maybe you can steer her to a Reserve component and still keep her in college. A compromise between your wishes and her wishes.

I'm pretty sure the dual-status SMP program still exists, where folks can enlist in a Reserve component and do that for two years before signing the ROTC contract or whatever during their junior year. I've seen a lot of Army Reserve ROTC cadets switch from SPC to the DOT over the years and go on to an Active Duty career after graduation, and several who decided the military was not for them at some point who rode out their Reserve hitch and go on with life.
 
No boy, definitely not a Marine. We live on an Army base. She's familiar with the other options. Says she does not feel she would be a good fit with the soccer coach, wants to play D1 soccer but can't play anywhere else due to her signing. So being the logical female she went to the recruiting office and took the test. Highest score in 3 years at the recruiting center. Pretty much telling her can can chose what she wants so she's looking into Marine combat engineer. Saying she will do that, apply to the Academy from the fleet and walk on at Navy since her obligation would be finished at the other school.
Can't understand where this came from.... says the guy married to a woman who enlisted to be an airborne rigger, went to flight school, became the first female OH-58D troop commander and is now a military surgeon.
 
At least she understands the important part. Navy won the most important game the last 13 in a row!!! :)
