I was in a similar situation when I was in school.
My family is a military family, so my dad pushed me to join after graduation. I didn't think I would be a fit, so I tried beating around the bush so I'd spare his feelings.
That didn't work. He didn't stop pushing it until I sat down and said "I. AM. NOT. JOINING. THE. MILITARY."
You're an adult and this is your life. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Your mom will get over it eventually.
