[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you react as a parent today when your kid says they are thinking of joining either the Marines or the military.[/quote] I'm an Air Force veteran (officer), ROTC grad, and served for several years in the early 2000s and then got out to go to law school. A flat no for my DD, at least right now. Look, sexual harassment and assault is still an enormous problem. We'll see where it is in a decade, after the culture has finally adapted to having sexual assault prosecution decisions taken away from commanders. But even then, rejoining civilian life after the military is very very difficult and military service does not prepare you for the civilian workforce, no matter what the sales pitch says. Most people are not as lucky as I have been to get to a good law school and become a federal attorney. [/quote]
