Trying not to sound to salesman like ... But, it is only four years (actually eight if you read the fine print) and he can always use the GI Bill to pay for college, tech school etc, and housing and food while doing it afterward.

I wish him the best of luck Todd. Joining the Military is the best thing I could have done at the time. Once you get over the fact that you have some rules and regulations that do not apply in the civilian arena, it isn't really that bad.

I love it. I am surrounded by like minded gun freaks who live in a socialist community preaching capitalism and democracy. I know it makes no sense, but we are happy, at least those of us that aren't privates.

He needs a direction to go, and someone to lead him. He's prime to go into the military.

But, no one can force him. So, don't try to. Just hang the carrot, and by that I mean let him know what we offer.

I mean, seriously, who else gets to play with military grade explosives and firearms?

That's why we're speaking with all the recruiters, not just stopping with the first one he talked to.

Unfortunately, that IS a lot of it, depending on your Career Field of course.

Being able to blow stuff up is SO great!
