[QUOTE="open4one, post: 2231618, member: 246334"] Start out by discussing what you are going to do when you graduate high school. If college isn't an option due to grades or lack of interest, that leaves.... what? This is where you introduce the idea of the military. Now, when one is considering the military, the SMART way to pick a branch is to figure out what JOB you want to do, which you have. Army you can sign right up to be an MP, but (last I knew) that wasn't an option for any other branch. Then talk about all the benefits of military service. College tuition, see the world, free CLEP tests (college credit for taking a test), work experience, possible career, yada yada yada. If you can get that far, explain the benefits of the FSP over waiting till you're 18 and can sign the papers without her. Do be realistic about the MP's. A lot of what MP's do is guarding gates and doing convoy escorts. Not only is it not always like cop shows on TV, that's actually a minority of what MP's do. You might want to consider taking Judo until you actually go in, it could well come in handy if you DO get sent to a unit that does real police work. [/QUOTE]
