Thanks, everyone. I've been sending him all the posts. The more I read, the more I think it really is the best decision for him. He seems to think that if he enlists, it's a show of failure on his part to not be able to pull off living on his own and going to college. But I'm trying to show him that it's a GOOD thing on his part to realize that maybe he's not ready to be completely on his own yet and it's better to realize it and get help NOW instead of waiting until he's really hosed something up.
He's also worried that when he gets out, he'll be "behind" his friends in life - education and career wise - but I think he'll be at least equal with what he'll learn in the military and from you guys have posted, it looks that way
I'll also have him talk with all the different recruiters. He's only talked to the USAF one and dang - the guy practically begged him to sign up on the spot, lol!
Thanks again - I knew I'd get good answers and advice here
