Hey, im in a bit of a dielemma...
I really really want to join the army when Im 16, but half my friends dont want me to do, because they fear I'll die or get hurt.
Is there any way i can convince them that I'd be ok, or should i just opt for something 'safer' in their opinions as i dont want to piss them off.
help!

As for convincing your friends - well they obviously care about you to be so worried, why don't you take them along to an army careers talk or similar so they can ask questions too. If they see you really want to do this, they'll support you in the end.

Its worth remembering tho' that they are US servicemen...
Ok its not entirely risk free but its not as dangerous as everyone makes out
But that's me, not you.
