I joined the Corps right after high school and I wouldn't trade it for a thing. Like many have said, I spent a lot of time not doing my actual job in the Corps. Yes, there will be some times where he hates life and others when he just loves it. If I had it to do over again, I'd have stayed in and made a career of it. The other branches may have more to offer career wise blah blah blah but the Marine Corps offers you a chance to be a Marine. Thats nothing something to be taken lightly.
My time in the Corps led me to the career I am in now and doubt I would be as successful in life if I had not gone. In my opinion, if he's already talking about the Marines seriously, don't lead him to other branches. He's drawn to the Corps for a reason.
