For what it's worth, depending how he scores, he could have his choice of jobs, and there is plenty of other MOSs in the Marines that need big dudes. Plenty of non-combat jobs that will get him trained up on "real world" skills to use once he gets out

Not sure I would necessarily say it's a great time to join, but you're only 17/18 once, right?

Good news, there will be a gap in traffic behind you.

I like to think, the longer in the day I can go without putting on pants, the better the day will be. Riding before putting on pants? Cloud 9!
