Kinda ridiculous given that in my other posts, I'm very enthusiastic about it. Dont get me wrong but yes I am, I've always, always wanted to join. But reason being for not wanting to join, especially this early in the game is that out of all my friends I'm the only one who truly believes in our Military, wholeheartedly. But I'm always hearing them say what a bad thing the military is, and how everyone who joins is "lost" to put it nicely..so that much harder..I dont know if anyone has or is goin through the same thing as I am....
So I ask you...is there anything I can do to help me stay focused on what I want?

If they were truely your "friends" they would wish you well and leave it at that. They dont have to agree with what you are doing but they should support you because you made a concious decision to do what YOU wanted to do.
Cut them loose. You will soon be making friends that you will have for life.
