My husband was in the military, and he said that for some people it was the greated decision they ever made. For some it was okay, and for a few, it was the worst thing they had ever done.

Going into the military needs to be a personal decision. It can't be forced on someone. Either it's right for you, or it's not. Just like everything else in life, you only get out of it what you put in to it, however, with today's world going into the service with less then your whole heart is a dangerous move.

I wish I had some pearls of wisdom to share to make this easier. I guess maybe find out if your husband's parents dictated his career and life choices and keep expressing that he should be free to lead the life he wants to lead and as long as he's not screwing it up with drugs and drinking, what's the problem? (not that it will work)
