After all his training the son wants to join the army! Guardsman in the
Coldstreams or Grenadiers. I ask myself :Why?
I know he is not happy with the career choice with not seeing his
family
as
often as he likes but for freeeks sake, he will see them less in the
army,
even though they will have married quarters.

What's wrong with the Army?

He could get killed. Obviously.

Safer in tanks. A nieghbour of mine has a Russian tank, Looks great
fun.
It does about two mpg. He doesn't drive it to work :-)

He could get killed driving .......................................
He could get killed as a Fireman.
He could get killed working on the Railway

The services are a great life. Far more camaraderie and help from the mates
you are serving with than the people you work with in Civvie Street. :-(((
