Is it because you thought your relatives would approve but you aren't so sure if your friends will?

I know a young man that's in a similar situation. It appears that he's told his family but had a hard time bringing his decision up with friends. I think that's because none of his friends are or have been in the military and perhaps he thinks they might not understand his choice and maybe even risk losing their friendship. He did finally tell most of his friends and, as it turned out, not all of them understood his choice, including myself... but true friends support one another. I support the decision he has made. I believe he has made the right choice for himself, at his own will. I hope you have too. To borrow an expression, "coming out" to your friends about important life decisions, such as joining the army, is very difficult. I think it's normal to have fears, but you must face those fears and tell your friends about your decision. The ties that bind friends are just as strong as -- sometimes even stronger than -- the love that holds a family together. You won't lose your true friends. They'll always be there for you!

Get all your hair cut off. Then they will ask you! Much easier to answer a question such as that, then to offer information sometimes.
