If my beloved Darkside thought that it were truly his duty and his place to be in the Air Force, I would have a long and sober talk with him, and he would likely join.

As it is, he's being pressured in that direction by his father, without any desire to do so on his own, and I will not stand for that.

Agreed.....speaking as a former Airman, if he has no wish to go in, he will loathe it and hate every second of it and it will corrode away at him. If he genuinely wanted to go in....more power to him, but being forced in with no wish to go and no desire to serve, well, its just wrong. The military is not something to be taken lightly, to be used as a filler job while you wait for something better or for the economy to get better. Its a duty, and a responsibility, and most definitely a very serious thing.

I wish you could give that lecture to his dad.
