If he joins infantry, he will be fucked. Tell him if he wants to go into infantry it would be best that he goes for special forces. If he wants to be a mechanic or a firefighter, then he should work on helicopters, tanks, anything non-combat. I suggest he picks marines because they ussually don't get assigned to protecting convoys but they always go on the offensive.





Helicopters/tanks--NON-combat?? Are you joking? When you go to war, they don't hide the mechanics and support personnel in a nice safe bunker capable of withstanding a nuclear blast... EVERYONE is vulnerable.

However, there are certain fields which decrease your chance of actually fighting (mechanics/support, etc. as you mentioned)... but there is no job 100% safe from being called in to kill.

Special Forces??? Groups like that are usually the FIRST to go in to a combat zone, often the LAST out..


EllemyshShade-
As far as your brother's "contract" or commitment... I wouldn't count on the military letting him out any time soon. They are re-calling some soldiers who have already RETIRED.

Most people have to learn things first hand, and unfortunately may regret decisions they make... I hope your brother will be able to just suck it up at a trade school or whatever... because that will sure beat the alternative!
