… There isn't a male member of my family who hasn't been in the military; and many females have as well. I commend him on his bravery. My brother is only 20 years old and has been in for over a year now. The military teaches you a LOT (and the wives of the military men learn a great deal as well!) Not to mention the above statement about him being handsome. A uniform just makes just about anyone look dashing.
