Thanks, he's a fine young man. He's doing it for himself, and to travel.
That's a large reason why I joined initially, along with the Cold War "death to Russia" thing. 22 years later I finally tapped out.
I hope he has a rewarding experience.

If he's serious about joining, then he needs to look at all Branches. Even in Peacetime a Sailor gets the best training and sees the world.
Have him talk with a Navy recruiter.
That is one thing to look into. The navy has more funding, more travel, and they're usually a good bunch of folks. I would rather have a FMF corpsman do surgery on me than a surgeon. Some of the best men I have ever met are FMF corpsmen. Becoming a navy corpsman attached to a marine unit is a great way to have fun with the marines, get the good training, and still have the navy backing him. Might even get a bonus out of the deal.
I'm very biased when it comes to Corpsmen. If you can be a Corpsman at sea or with the Jarheads, there's nothing in this world you can't do.

Depends on what kind of training you are talking about.
I'm biased to Navy Corpsmen too. But most Marines who have heard the sound of incoming fire are. Now as far a regular old garden variety squids...
