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.

My son wes in the Army, Royal Artilery, did around 10 years, Went in
as a survayor, then qualified as an instructor for 4 trades.
When he left he got trained and now works as an oceanographic
surveyor, spending around half of the year in the Gulf of Mexico
amongst other places around the world.
He was broke one winter and had 3 weeks leave due so he signed up for
Ski training and was taught to Ski, cost him around £10.00
Tell him to go for it.
