What about the Mel Blunt youth home in Washington County? Or Agape Village? They aren't really boot camps but are teen programs but they may have suggestions for you on what to do. I really don't know of any other possible programs unless you contact the family courts and talk to a juvenile youth probation officer..

Here is my two cents. I have been in the Army for 15 years (ten years active duty and five years in the National Guard).\n\nPROS\n\n1) You will grow up and become a man or woman. You will learn to accept and handle responsibility in stages.\n\n2) You will travel far more than you ever imagined. In the ten years I was on active duty, I was stationed in Korea, Germany, Bosnia and Kosovo. I traveled to five of the seven continents and have visited over 70 countries. All without a passport. All without paying commercial airfare (most I ever paid was $30)\n\n3) You can get over $50,000 in college money for an initial investment of $1200. It may not get you to Harvard, but it can get you a degree in many schools.\n\n4) While in active duty, the Army (don't know about the other branches) pays 75% of your tuition. So in addition to the GI Bill and Army College Fund, you can get a great head start for 25% of the cost of normal tuition.\n\n5) As long as you declare a major and fill out some form (I forget which one, but your Education Center can tell you), there are hundreds of colleges who will accept EVERY CREDIT you earn while in the military. Most schools will accept some but not all if you are not in the military.\n\n6) Real world experience is just as valuable as a college education. And you will get plenty in the military. If you have both real world experience AND a college education, the sky is literally the limit to what you can achieve.\n\n7) You get credit for attending college while in the military toward promotions. That means all other things being equal, the college student will get promoted before the non-college student.\n\n8) Income is FANTASTIC! Don't buy the hype that the military doesn't pay squat. Where else can you get a SECURE job straight out of high school, pay no rent or utilities AND have over a thousand dollars a month to spend or save or invest in whatever you want? If you work minimum wage somewhere (about $850 per month) and then pay for an apartment and utilities, there isn't going to be much left over after everything is paid for.\n\n9) Access to a Thrift Savings Account (TSP). It is the equal of a 401(k) account for government employees. Take advantage of it and sock away as much as you can while you are young and take advantage of compound interest. I have two TSP account - one military and one civilian (I also work for the Department of Homeland Security). The funds I invest in have grown between 60% and 80% over the last two years. Senators have TSP accounts, the President can have one, every government employee can have one.\n\n10) An AWESOME retirement program. You can retire after 20 years (15 years sometimes if they offer early retirements) and begin drawing a pension IMMEDIATELY. If you go in at 17, you can retire with a pension at 37 and still have the next 30 for another full career with pensions.\n\nCONS\n\n[ crickets chirping ]\n\nHonestly, there is nothing that I can say is really bad about the military. It is definitely a lifestyle, and it either agrees with you or it doesn't. As long as you can figure out the head game aspect of it, it can be the easiest, most rewarding job you ever have. I currently make over six figures, and I got the job due to my experience in the military. I enjoy the military so much and it is such a part of my life that I continue to stay in.\n\nThe military is not about the money. It is about opportunity. It is about patriotism. It is about Duty, Honor, Country. It is about camaraderie. It is about your fellow brothers and sisters in arms.

I have a friend whose husband went into the army as an officer first. He was a Lt. for a yr. and now he is going to captains school. What he did was he went to college, Texas A&M and enrolled in their ROTC program and I think he talked to a recruiter.The military paid for his college tuition and then he had to serve 4 years in the military upon graduation. Don't believe the recruiters when they tell you that you can go to college while in the military. That is a bunch of BS, I know because my first husband was in the military. Go to college first, then go into the military. Look into West point or something like this guy. I do want you to know that the military doesn't make that much money. You are poor...they do have free housing for officers, free medical, the commisary(groceries) which is cheaper and the traveling is ok if you get housing on base.

You should log onto www.armycadets.com.   This will give you a good idea of what it is like, where they are etc.   It is a good idea to try it out in the cadets to see if you enjoy it before you join the armed forces, as there are no strings attached, and if you don't like it then you have not committed to anything big.

The best place to start is by asking his parents/family.  Another place to look is Yahoo People Search.  You can try https://www.us.army.mil/suite/login/welcome.html, but I don't know if you will be able to log on.

Well, i am married (mil to mil) and if he gets married after basic training he might be a hold over, waiting for them to process all his paper before he heads to his A School. So i would tell him he might want to do it now and let the recruter do the paper filing and whatever else he needs to do. That is the recruters job, to do paper work or whatever needs to be done for your son to work for uncle sam. Dont let the recruter be lazy if he is acting lazy, it's a military thing. LOL If he gets married before boot camp then everythig will fall into place and him and his wife can be together as soon as he gets out of A School and he will have nothing to worry about other than finding a house. If you need anything feel free to e-mail me   tink41503@yahoo.com

Bootcamp is a short time. 13 weeks for Marines. (been there done that). However the hard time comes after that when you are actually able to talk on the phone or fly out to visit each other... If he is a reservist he will be back after boot for a couple weeks and back to training for his MOS school.. and then back home to his reserve unit.. If he is active he will be back from boot as well but once he leaves for MOS school he will go straight to his unit after that.. \nThen come 'floats' or wartimes or being sent here and there and mostly out of U.S... this is the time when you will talk to your bf maybe once a week and will not see him for 6 months or sometimes even over a year.. I would try to see what he really wants to do.. I do not recommend military to anyone who is doing it to get benefits and school paid.. If you are going in might as well stay in for the whole 20 and retire... \n\nif he doesnt he will come back after all your friends are done with their degrees and have nice jobs.. he will start from scratch.. start school or go work as a landscaper or a construction worker.. \n\nTalk to him and see what he wants to do.. If this is trully what he believes then he should do it.. do not try to hold him back because if he stays then he will blame you for not following his dreams.. \n\nIt will be hard.. go out with friends and keep busy.. stay away from clubs or bars.. and stay away from guys who will give you the ear and a shoulder to cry on.. he will just use you... (i got dropped when i was away... but its ok.. im married and very happy with someone else now)\n\nGOOD LUCK...

Military academies have many top students. You do not need to be in one to go to the air force but it would help.\nWhat he needs to do is study study study Be the top of his class and a sports. ROTC any where he going would be a must even if its not air force.

try enrolling in a community college. Every state has a bunch of them. Just look online and search your state for a list of local community colleges. CC is like high school. It usually is not the difficult and it is less expensive than a 4 year school. If you are into military stuff then join but remember there is a war right now and you will probably be sent to fight in Iraq, etc. You can't get a good paying job without a college degree (unless you sign up for the military). Talk with your parents or friends who have joined the military or are in college for their opinions.

Check out military.com and see if you can find him on the buddies list there. It's free to join. You may not be able to find a location because that information may endanger him or his unit. Settle for an address to write to.
