Today, I asked my parents to sign for me to enlist in the military. They asked me how much money the government gives them if I die. FML

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML
Today, my parents asked if I wanted to go to military school so I said, "Yeah, that would be awesome," thinking it was a joke. They weren't joking. FML
Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML
Today, I told my dad I want to enlist in the army and he tried to lock me in my room. He did almost the same thing when I told him I wanted to do certain college courses to make it easier to become a police officer, only there was a lot more swearing and throwing of objects. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I asked my parents if I had a college fund because I will be going to university in two years. They laughed. FML
Today, my dad drunkenly ranted about how I should volunteer for the military because of the crisis in the Middle East. I refused; I'm in college on two scholarships and have listened to stories of why his service still gives him nightmares. I had to hide all the phones to keep him from calling the recruiters. FML
Today, I told my father I registered for the Marines, and that I'm leaving for bootcamp next week. He asked if this means that he doesn't have to pay child support anymore. FML
Today, I talked to my dad about joining the military. He got up, laughed, and said, "As if the army would accept a pussy like you." FML
Today, my girlfriend of three years broke up with me because I'm in the military and I'm gone too much. The reason I enlisted in the first place is because we agreed that the money and benefits I would earn would help us be able to start a family in the future. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

tell u the truth i didnt read all the comments to many to read. and some are long, but, they only get the money if you die if ur at war, like in iraq get exploded by a bomb. but if you are here, and u have a car wreck and die, well then ur just screwed cause thats not a "at combat death" i know my brother was in the army, or thats how it was when he was in it like couple years ago, never got called off to war, but he got killed in a car wreck.... and guess what??? we got no money!! and trust me, if your not in it 100% then its not for you, i know to many people that has gone AWOL, if ur just in it to get the enlisting bonus, then i would recommend it. or for it to pay for college dont do it or unless u just go Reserves, but not no full time active duty. the army is no joke. so dont play around with it like it is one. THANKS ALL FOR SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS, LETS ALL PRAY THEY GET TO ALL COME HOME SOON!!

No offense, but your parents are assholes. They should be honoured that their son is willing to risk dying for their safety.
