Nope and I was his favorite child. Both thought I wasted a perfectly good education.

I am exceedingly sorry to hear that; SFC Angeline Hoffmann. Well, I am here to tell you that you did not waste one single solitary thing. You not only served your country, you achieved the high NCO rank of Sergeant First Class.
I certainly cannot tell you, not to listen to your parents; however, if it were I, I would find trustworthy people to believe*. [Not that your parents aren't trustworthy.]

Yes. Very much so. I'm only sad that my father had already passed away and could not attend my retirement, but he was always very supportive of my military career and liked to brag to his buddies about my service. My mom has always been supportive as well. She has been behind me since day one, to include serving as a Family Readiness leader in one my units, serving on the Mayor's committee to welcome troops home and serving as an Army Reserve Ambassador. My parents were the best when it came to supporting my military service.

I served 21 years, retired 6 years ago. Every vehicle my parents ever drove from 1987 until present time has/had a "Proud Parent of a US Marine" sticker on it. They still refer to me as "My son the Marine". I would say they are pretty proud. I wish everyone could experience what I have. I'm sure my parents are just as proud of all of you too.

SFC Angeline Hoffmann, in my estimation you wasted absolutely nothing. For one thing, I am sure that your education came in quite handy, when it came to promoting you. I cannot tell you that your parents were wrong; but Sergeant First Class, you not only defended and protected this great country of ours; you attained the HIGH RANK of a NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER: SERGEANT FIRST CLASS.
CONGRATULATIONS, SERGEANT FIRST CLASS!!
