[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 10295, member: 1514"] I have seen the military be a totally wonderful thing for many people. Do I know if they will take your son? Nope...havent a clue. They may. I had an army recruiter tell me they would take Cory if he had his GED and I was shocked. The Marines wouldnt have touched him with a ten foot pole. I have heard that the army is loosening its standards because of the war. Just because he joins doesnt mean he is going to be toting a gun in the army. Many jobs there dont require it. Its the Marines who have the saying "everyone is an infantryman." The other branches arent like that. Personally, I would let him try. My own opinion is I wish we had a national service kind of like Isreals where everyone could serve two years in some sort of capacity. You may not be able to be in the actual armed part of the armed forces but there are the other type jobs that go along with running that huge machine....clerical, food prep, drivers, mechanics, etc. But that is my opinion.
