yorgatron, I think that article did the trick.
I've been gently working on him for nearly a week now talking about things mentioned on this thread and mentioned by the guys at work I've talked with. I think that article smacked him right upside the head with a good dose of reality. When you see the number of deaths and the number of wounded reality sets in.

Now he's talking about taking his time. He also mentioned that he wants to talk to a Navy recruiter too. That's the kind of stuff I wanted to hear.

Thanks all.

If nothing changes with this that's 1 less stressor. In another 2 hours another stressor will be gone that has been around since July. Then there will be 3 stressors left but only 2 that can change for the better. The last one is going to be around for years I hope, because it beats the alternative.
