[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone like this doesn't need college. He needed to join the military. With the latter, you know he'd at least come out with some skillsets. Right now, it sounds like he's going to move to your couch.[/quote]

The kid I knew who was struggling pre-military only came out with a raging drug addiction.  It killed him before 30, and he was dishonorably discharged.  The military is not where you go to get clean.[/quote]

This! What a joke - drug use and alcohol abuse is rampant in the military.

It's also not a babysitting service or mental health treatment facility!! Why the f would you suggest putting a kid struggling with mental health (which is the underlying reason for using in the first place....) in the military??? Poor boys are just shipped off and left to their own devices. We don't ever talk about young ladies in the same way. Oh - just ship her off to a convent. I mean, seriously. Boys deserve better (I have 2 daughters, but this attitude toward boys is upsetting to me). [/quote]
