Voted : Encourage
Not all service men & women go to the front lines. There are a lot of career fields that won't put you in harms way.
Ballot title "your" not "you"
Voted : Encourage
Encourage them. But let them know that they might not always wind up where they want to be. But like UncleRandy said, it offers lots of career fields. I know one who went into the surveillance field after he got out and is making an arm and a leg in the private sector now without ever setting foot in a college. Got a nephew who's planning on going into security when he gets out and is pretty much promised a job already. And an old friend of my dad's who got tired of sitting still after leaving the Marines but too old to reenlist, so he joined up with the Peace Corp so he could travel and lend his military experience.
Voted : Discourage
but not defy them and not send them out with bells on their toes, either. I have respect for an individual's right to follow his or her dreams without my instituting chilling negativity into the choice. That would just be setting the stage for self-doubt for them. Even if I did not want them to go, I would have to be very careful in what I said so that I did not cause them emotional harm or create a burden that would compromise their full ENJOYMENT of their military career.
I selected my own choice, Neutrally support their choice. I didn't think I selected Discourage, but maybe I did.
