Early in my adult life, my flying goal was definitely more important than any relationship at the time. I had one shot at that goal. Plenty of fish in the sea.

That call is up to you and your family. Everyone's situation will be different. If you have the money for college, go. Join that institutions' ROTC program. If you enlist, you can still go to college and not have to pay a dime. It may take a little longer, but it can be done. You get a roof over your head, clothes, at least three meals, free health care, a job, and a paycheck.
There are three ways to become an officer: the Academy, ROTC, and OTS. All three can be done while either enlisted or in college. Your choice. You're at the point where you have to start putting your "big boy pants on"

Like I said, you have options. You and your family will have to choose what's right for you. Make no mistake though, what ever you do, you're gonna have to bust your butt to make it happen. Hard work does pay off later down the road.
