hello everybody.........i am 16 years old and when i turn 17 in May i wanna join the Marine Corps....my parents are pretty much "NO WAY" on signing the forms.....my friend is a year younger than me and is planning on joining the Marines too (but somehow he's going to college first so he comes out an officer...i dunno...)....he told me i should just forge one of their signatures. i've read countless stories of Marines who have done it in the past but i also know how high Honor is regarded in the Corps..........who would you back up? my friend who says "forge" or me, who says "nope"....? i want to hear reasons from both sides if possible....thanks!

I dont think that you should forge.What if your parents contact the Marine Corp. after finding out.I go against the forge strongly.

Ya, I somewhat have the same problem, but it's ust the Marines. My parents are okay with all other branches. My dad probably won't sign, but my mom most likely will. As for your problem, explain to the recruiter, and then get them and your parents to talk. If they still say no, tell them what you want. I've told my parents I don't care what they say I'm going in the marines. Now it's gone from pick a different branch to my dad making fun of the marines alot and my mom telling me to be careful every so often.

If you want my opinion don't do it. If you really want to join wait one year and sign for yourself then your parents would have no say in the matter

NO, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU DO THAT
You could severely ******** yourself over with doing s**t like that, just let your parents know that you are going to do this no matter what, and that you would greatly appreciate their support and blessings on it, keep working on them and have them sit down with a recruiter, and go talk to a recruiter yourself and get any questions answered you might have, feel free to PM me with any other questions you may have.

In all honesty you are only asking for problems (and thats even if you could get away with it, because if I recall from a few buddies of mine when I was in who were on recruiting duty, if you are under age they require your parents to come in and sign the paper work. So if the recruiter let you do it (which they probably wont) and your parents are against it that much, they could not only get you in hot water federally (felony charges) but the recruiter as well.
As stated above.. if you really want to do it. Talk to your parents maturely about it. Find out why they don't want to. Let them know why you want to. If after that you have not changed your mind, let them know that when you are of age you will join with or without thier support, but let them know that whether they support you or not you love them and respect why they don't want you to. Keep yourself tough and inshape to prepare for that day you can sign yourself. If your parents see that you are making the preparations for this and being serious about it, more than likely they will back you at some point. (probably not immediately as they want to see if you are really serious about this and willing to prepare for whatever may come up,... which is why many parents put problems in the way i.e. refusing to take you to a recruiter, refusing to discuss it, etc..All of this because joining the military, especially the marines, is no laughing matter. Yes the benefits can be good, but you have to look at the bad side of everything and be truely prepared to accept whatever may happen, good or bad.
I hope the info here and above and below helps you out. If you need advice or want to chat you can pm me. I (along with a few others here probably) have been there, done that. Either way good luck with whatever you do.
