[quote=Anonymous]We know a lot of people in the foreign service and government contractors who were in the military first. Some were enlisted but most went to college, did ROTC and fulfilled their commitment after college. It wouldn't be my first choice for my kids because I think the lifestyle is very demanding but I can also see the benefits and don't think it's the worst option or anywhere close. Don't freak out yet, why don't you explore it together and also explore other options. I think sometimes people grab at any port in a storm - maybe this just seems like the most interesting and attainable option to him right now. I seriously considered signing up for a Marine Corps officers program after college when I was feeling very uncertain about my options. But that moment passed and I got off on a much different path.[/quote]
