[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Military.  If he is physically/medically able.

It doesn’t matter how “interested” he is it now.  He doesn’t seem to be interested in much of anything passionately at the moment.

The military will teach him a skill, he will gain leadership knowledge, it is character building, provides everything he needs, money for future college.
 
It isn’t permanent.  He can serve 4 yrs then do something else, but it is a fantastic springboard for many many things.  A great opportunity creator[/quote]

I know there are a lot of anti military sickos here, but US mil can be a great option. I think some branches allow you to enlist for only 3 years. There is a big misconception that everyone in the military is doing special ops missions and shooting it out with ISIS  :lol: . College is paid for and I've even seen guys taking classes online when deployed. And anyone in fed HR can attest to the fact that vets get major preference when it comes to hiring in most fed agencies. It can be great for slackers who need some motivation, and it can also be good for people who are more driven.  The selection process and training for Special Forces and pilots is absolutely demanding compared to your avg slacker college experience. [/quote]
