My little brother wants to join the Marines.

He's always fascinated by soldiers.

Advise him to think deep and hard about it. Kids at that age are impressionable. Make sure he knows what life is like on the inside before you let him enlist. Try getting him to talk with someone who's served before.

Advise him to think deep and hard about it. Kids at that age are impressionable. Make sure he knows what life is like on the inside before you let him enlist. Try getting him to talk with someone who's served before.

That and avoid getting info from recruiters. Their Job is to get you to join and they sometimes will tell you exactly what you want to hear so you sign up. Think long and hard before signing your contract.
