Age 16? In just over two years, the communist thug will be on his way out of our White House. I would ignore the naysayers who think a drug-addled loser with temporary power is a consideration for your daughter’s service in our military. I pray that Obama’s entire legacy will be repealed within the first hundred days after America is freed, but in any case I expect his contamination of our military to be swept away quickly.

I would strongly advise ROTC/USMA/USNA/USAFA if her grades, interest, and aptitude are compatible with college and the commissioning options (pay is much higher, work no harder). The key is whether she can finish two semesters of calculus for any of those paths. If she works hard at math, starting now, can she do that? As for which service, it’s more about her than about what we recommend. Does she like the sea? Navy (my service) is great, but not if you get seasick. Does she have the reflexes and motivation to be a pilot, or does she think maintaining planes would be fun? USAF is a good choice if you think flying is cool, bad option if you are bored by the idea. Same for Army and sleeping in the mud - is that summer camp or misery?

Which branch is and ought to be her choice. All the options can be great. [I left the Marines out, but not for any particular reason; she should look at what they do too. Semper Fi!]

No military has ever recovered after being taken over by the homo-fascists.
