Yup, not worth it especially marine where you are going to be a grunt on the front line. If he is going to stay, tell him to transfer to something behind the scenes.
My brother was also in the army and he transferred to biomedical repair tech then left the army like 1 year later lol. Makes 150k per year repairing medical equipment at hospitals now. No college degree, no debt. He used his GI bill money to get a degree in hospital management or something like that.
A few months ago he was saying he was going to reup and request recruiting which would be ok, I guess. I think some things have changed since then because he's at a point now where he's saying he wants out. A big problem is he is enlisted but he is currently the most senior person in his unit and all the newbies are apparently very um, incapable of learning. All the work is falling to him because he says it's easier to just do it himself than to try to get these jokers to understand.
Also, for whatever reason, the command for his unit in Okinawa has decided to put them back on lockdown. He hasn't been home in 4 years now because his leave that was scheduled last year in the spring was cancelled. He is totally burnt out.
He's going to get out and use his GI bill to go to college. Says he wants to be a history teacher. He is young, it's possible he will change his mind on the career path a few more times.
Yeah, it is probably a good idea to get out. Nothing wrong with being a history teacher. We need more conservative men in public school system these days.
