Disclaimer?… This is a brand new discussion in our family. I will look into it effortlessly. My only short advice to him was “awesome!”. “Find some places of interest and request to be put in direct contact with people that are actually there”. I gave him the side eye when he kept mentioning “ the recruiter said “😂 He understood.

And it made a positive impact on them. I don't think you have any say so in where you are posted. In fact, if you speak Spanish say, they will not send you to a Spanish speaking place. They won't send anyone anywhere dangerous.

He’s an exceptionally bright cross creek redneck. Absolutely respects the armed services and appreciates his country. He has different aspirations. I have no idea if he smokes hash, we did share a beer on the porch last night though.

I honestly don’t know. The world is a far different place than it was thirty years ago. I have a good friend that spent considerable time in the peace corp and truly benefited from it. He gained tremendous insight in another country’s plight and broadened his love and respect for the USA. I’d definitely want my son somewhere safe.
