Hubby and I have discussed this many times, but mainly about our son following in hubby's footsteps and joining the Marine Corps (or any branch, really). We have much the same feeling as you, fhq...we'd be very proud of him if he chose to devote some of his life to service to the country, but we really hope he chooses to get a college education and get started in a career before he turns 30+, which is where both hubby and I are headed right now.
