Alright, before we start its me criminal mastermind or CM from before i need some advice. can someone please help me. I grew up on the street's(inner city) of baltimore, i was bullied and picked on as a kid. A few older Cuzz's saw some potential in me. They asked me if i wanted to get down. They told me i would always have a family, a place to go, and no one would ever mess with me again. Being the coward i was at the time i took the offer. I got jumped into the Rollin 30's Crips of Poplar Grove. At the time i was just a skinney 12 year old kid who wouldent stand up for myself. In time i became a gang member. I was bigger, had muscles... i could defend myself. But they were my boy's and i was down for life, i never once thought of leaving the grove or harlem. I dropped out of school to stand on the corner of Poplar and Mculloh Sippin 8 ball and slangin rocc's. Those men were right, there was alot of potential in me....for them that it. I made them alot of money, and made myself alot of money in the same time. i was actually getting used to living life selling drug's. I actually didnt care about my future, i just cared i made over 120$ a day to keep pushing. My life was truly a disaster i just couldent see it yet. I was scared to think ahead, i was too scared to think about the next month..sometimes even the next week. I was a dumbass at the time i just didnt know then.
So after a while i came around 15 and the court order came. My mother won custody of me. I was moved to the suburbs. I originally hated it. But now i have grown to like it, i am re enlisted in school.(Im 17 now). I even take AP classes and stuff. I dont sell drugs anymore i have legit hustle and a real job. Now heres the problem. I had my life set, i knew from the minuite i saw the marine corpse..i wanted to be a member of the USMC. I talked to a recruiter and everything i had taken the ASVAB and the pre-screening. On the prescreening i made an 80/99 and the national average is around 65/99. The recruiters looked at my grades and basicly told me i was very smart, i was just very lazy. and its true. So i set up the meeting with my parents and everything. the contract was written up and everything. My mom works at a bank right, and one of her customers is in the marines he told my mom alot of bad stuff about it. he said it was the biggest mistake of his life. Now you have to remember this is a retard who is in infantry because he got like a 30 on the test. He was telling my mom how they only trained him todo his job and didnt let him goto college. And when they offered him togo to college for free, he said it had been about 4 years so he didnt even want to go anymore. My moms not understanding that his job doesnt need a college education. he is infantry, they only put the idiots there..who can easily be replaced. Im trying to explain to her that i got a very good score and be anything i want to be, and the last thing they should want todo is send me to iraq. My mom doesnt know how much the marines mean to me. I never felt included all my life, i was never included in a team or a family..i just had a crew. I never been included or had the pride of belonging, iev just been a gang member and drugdealer. I always thought that this would make up for all the bad shit i did. When i tell my kids that when i was a kid i was a drug dealer and gang member..i could follow up saying the joined the elite marines fighting force and i became a changed man. my mom went so far as to saying if i enlist when im 17, to NEVER EVER show my face to her again. i just want to be a marine. I dont want to be in any the airforcce because they are pussy's. the army doesnt garuntee you a job. the navy is just plain gay. The coast guard are bigger pussy's then the airforce. I got to be a marine, its what i want todo but some dumbass ruined it for me. My mom wont even listen to me about it anymore. anyone have any advice to get her to turn around.
