I was in the Army so maybe some navy vets can help me to help him. First off he has a one year old and has been married for about two years. He is working in a factory now and is bored with it. He also has alot of problems in his marriage. I was in the Army and know the military is not the best place to nurture an already hurting marriage, which is why I advised him to wait a few years and work on a career.
He only knows what the recruiter has told him and both he and his wife really think that they will always have a choice of where they are stationed and he will have a choice of deployment time lengths and of course he is choosing the Navy because he "wont go to war" which is just not true all branches serve and are in harms way IMO. They are also on the verge of bankruptcy and he it will take a couple promotions to make more money than he makes now anyway. I just dont want him to make a wrong choice that he will regret. What should I tell him? What are your thoughts? Thanks and appreciate all vets opinions
