My goal is to get into the military, but I've been trying to get off my blood pressure meds.

    Well, I did get my Associate's degree, but I just blew my chance of graduating with a Bachelor's degree by getting academically dismissed from a four-year university. That is why I need to talk to my doctor and tell him about my situation.

    You need to see a doctor about the medical issue.

    As to the parental issue, you are 28 years old, it is time to get off your duff and support yourself. By the time I hit 28 I had a wife, two children and had been supporting the whole bunch for 8 years already.

    The military will be much less understanding and tolerant than your parents. You may want to reconsider whether you and the military would be a good fit.

    I'm liable to get flagged but I'm not being mean. I'm calling it as I see it.
    Thank you. I just wish that I had that kind of mentality when I was 18 years old.

    Never too late to change your attitude and your life! Carpe diem!
