My brother in law retired after being a 'lifer' in the Marines. That was not an easy lifestyle for the family as he had a few times when he was gone on a tour for 9 mos at a time. They also lived in Japan for a few years.
Tank is interested in serving. Not sure it will happen. I would be very honorable, but as his mother I think it would make me worry constantly.
I have much admiration for those who choose to serve; I certainly could not in that capacity.
