Yeah, I wasnt a model citizen when I went in the Army at 19 . Lots of girls dads were happy I was off in Europe keeping the Rooskies at bay. Best thing that ever happened to me besides my wife was the Army .I joined the Navy at age 18. I was a High school dropout and had been in a lot of trouble. Fortunately, in 1965 just about anyone could get into the military. The military gave me purpose and responsibility for the first time in my life, and I thrived on it. To this day, I credit the USN for making a boy into a man and I am forever grateful.
I would tell him to go with a combat MOS on his first enlistment, because after basic training, 99% of Soldiers who didn't choose a combat MOS wish they had. Basic brings out the hard core in almost everyone. He could always change MOS's upon reenlistment.I would do it again but if I did I wouldn't chose the same MOS by any stretch of the imagination. I was a 54B who went to technical escort school but the whole MOS was dumb as hell. If I were to do it again I'd go
Thats why I just told mine to find something fun to do for 4 years , like anyone listens to me, then he can finish up school on their dime when he gets out.
I dont know if they still have them but Id go door gunner in the air cavalry
And miss out on all the fun? None of my good sea stories involve following regs!2, Don't do stupid things with stupid people

Did 3 years at Subic, I had a bad case of yellow fever the whole time I was there, miss those LBFMsomeone went to the PI..
When my son joined, when OBAMA was the President. I asked my son to think hard and long about the possibility of being ordered by the President to fight and die for......NOT what he believed in......but for what OBAMA believed in.I would shudder to think of a child of mine potentially serving under a man who insists on wearing a skirt.
Reagan was president when I joined. Would have followed him anywhere. Can't say that about about any of them after him.When my son joined, when OBAMA was the President. I asked my son to think hard and long about the possibility of being ordered by the President to fight and die for......NOT what he believed in......but for what OBAMA believed in.
Yeah......I'm NOT a fan of OBAMA or BRANDON.
Aloha, Mark
Nah, I'm in the Draft Dodgers' Yacht Club - never made it to that neck of the woods. Most of my shenanigans took place along the West coast of North and Central America. I've heard a few stories from the Western Pacific though…..someone went to the PI..
Neither one of cares about stuff like that so its good.Sorry to send negative waves, I'm a vet and I love this country. But I would suggest he find an alternative because the military is now a political bubblegumshow run by sociopaths.
