I can't add anything, but to say, I would have been proud if any of my kids had joined the military. I have often thought what it would be like to attend a military graduation and see one of my sons standing proud in uniform serving our country.
Thanks to everyone who has made that choice.

It's boring and soon forgotten, much like HS or College. The adventures, friendship and experience takes place over years.....and that's worth the memories.
I was Air Force better food ,housing ,training.No regrets.
My youngest leaves for USMC boot camp the day after tomorrow.
I'm not so sure about that. I'm currently working on my third degree and I haven't paid a dime for any of them. Ok, that's not true. I've sometimes had to pay out of pocket for books. Other than that, the government has picked up the tab and I was active duty AF before going the reserve route.
Non-college training... That'd be a close call. Dunno what all the Navy offers, but the AF offers training in a fairly wide variety of fields that can land a guy a pretty decent job on the outside.
That's my perception too, but my parents VIVIDLY remember the military graduations. They loved them. They also really love stuff like flags flown over hostile nations in a USAF aircraft accompanied with framed certificate. That stuff is boring and routine to me, but they love it.

Thanks, he's a fine young man. He's doing it for himself, and to travel.
Both are excellent reasons. Even if he doesn't make a career of it, he'll get valuable training and life experience from it. He'll definitely get to travel.
