Thanks for helping bring the thread back on track @Cerberi. I appreciate the help everyone has offered, and I will proceed to close this thread-as I have received all of the information I need. Thank you.

Thanks for your support everyone!! I'm sorry this turned out to be a sappy thread, but I have definitely gained some reinforcement and tips for my next moves. (Helping me ensure I'm not being driven solely by teenager rebelliousness...). I look forwards to digging up this thread in 5 or so...

Another good point!! My mother did promise she would sign, but personally, yes, I believe there is a chance she could change her mind. My parents share the same religion however my mom takes the views on the military much more loosely. Yup, it has definitely been a huge challenge. Great to...

Again, I appreciate your support!! It probably is more than an SA thing with him, I think it stems from a jealousy of my drive to be great. With all due respect, he just never had a drive to be somebody, and maybe seeing me work so hard makes him feel unncomfortable... idk :'(

Perfect! Well then I will just do my best to ensure that my dad doesn't change my moms mind. And then just gather info on emancipation just incase worst comes to worst. Thank you infinitely for your help!!!

Hey everyone, I'm a candidate for the USAFA, USNA, and USMA (I received a nomination for the USMA). So far, everything has been flowing smoothly, however there is one major hiccup that I'm running into. I know that, should I receive an appointment, I would need to have a parental consent form...
