Question for the Army people on my friends list.....

[patgund]

My nephew Jessie is joining the Army. The recruiter is, of course, promising the stars and the moon to him. His father, who got out of basic just as the Vietnam war was drawing to a close and did two tours of duty in Korea as a heavy equipment operator, doesn't have a problem with him joining but wants to make sure he's got everything in writing first.

Anyone want to let him know what he's in for and offer advice or suggestions for him?
