Should I go to the job?

My boyfriends parents are trying to convince me to convince him to go into the military or get a job..?

  • my boyfriend had a good stable job being a supply manager for nurses when he is only 18 years old, but had to quit because of a lot of stressful situations with that job.. now he is unemployed but is looking very hard for another job and has looked everywhere in this small town literally. hasnt gotten calls back yet. his dad is trying to set him up for a job at his work which is very good pay, and he said he was put at the top of the application list but its been 3 weeks and no calls. so i guess they figure he isnt going to get the job and are trying to tell him he needs to go into the military and saying it is his only other option right now. My boyfriend told me if it was his last resort and he cannot find any other work he will go, but right now he doesnt want to he wants to keep trying to find a job. His mom just texted me a while ago asking me to convince him to get a job or go to the military because i have a big influence on him and he would listen to me.. but i dont want to "make" him go i know if i suggested it to him he would consider it more, but he wont just up and go because i said he should, but i want him to do what he feels best and whatever he does i will support him wether he decides to go into the military or not. i know if it comes down to it and he cannot find anything to do, he will go.. and i will still be here to support him. but i dont know what to say to his parents i told them it was up too him but they want me to talk to him about it more. i also dont want him going in the front lines which he wont when me and him talked he said he would go into something not dangerous, but his parents want him in the army. im sure if he did go he would do what he wanted but how do we let them know that he doesnt have to jump into the military right away they want him to sign up NOW but he doesnt....

Stay out of it. Would you want HIM helping your parents to bully you? Maybe he'd be willing to move to a nearby town for a regular job .

He really needs to Find a Job... as it is a real bi*ch living on the Streets... That sounds like what is about to happen... He is an Adult Now...time to leave the NEST... Maybe you can support him...??? I won't tell him to join any Service, as I don't know if he is even qualified to Enlist...

Don't push him into joining the military. He cannot choose to not be in a dangerous place after he volunteers. This must be a choice of his own. If he would get maimed or die, you could get depression over thinking it was your fault for convincing him to join. If he's trying hard to get a job, he'll get one. You both must be patient. Maybe he needs to try getting a degree in college? Think about it.

Your in a coned-rum. Looking for a stable job and it's really easy. No job and no cheddar to buy nice things. I know that a military life isn't for everyone. I saw somebody run and I'm of the USAF. He didn't have the mental toughness; I guess. Being a government dog or work. Nothing is easy. Sorry that I'm biased. The military life is stable income, but you have to really balance it. I think that only Sgt. Majors, Chiefs, E-9 make money that's equal to your lower grade officers. No offense. The common sense of a Sgt. Major is worth more to me then low grade peons. That's me and how I have to laugh at the idea of military intelligence. In the small town and looks like their bigots in the hood there. I do know that the military has a cut off age of so many. That only want young blood to fill in the ranks. I knew a airmen that just met the cut off age, back in my base; BAMBI What advice I may give to you... I suggest that you take a veteran to the recruiter station. This hurts the military and the vet will know, I hope, what questions to ask and what's on the dotted line. The military is a system. I has its ways. Know them and understand that your first term is usually twice as long as you serve. They can recall you.

The military isn't a place for people who don't really want to be in it. I wouldn't try to convince him of anything. I know the job market isn't good right now, and the military is a steady paycheck with benefits so its not that its a bad idea. I joined because my wife got pregnant and I needed a better paying job, plus its something I always wanted to do and its worked out great. But, the military needs people who want to be in so I would stay out of it.
