Good for him!
Let's not write him off altogether: he might actually like it. If administered correctly military service might actually give you a better self-understanding.
When I had to do my tour here in the Netherlands I did NOT want to serve. The idea of having to do something just because somebody told me to do it......this was not for me!
After getting there I rather liked it (it reminded me a lot of the boy scouts when I was 12; playing warrior in the woods and camping outdoors). And I got to play with the heftiest fireworks available!
To make a long story short: I made it to 2nd Lieutenant and served two tours in Yugoslavia; one as a sitting duck and one as a 'liberator'; had a great time and made a little money as well. Personally I think I came out a better person.......
And don't forget: when Dowly gets out, there will be a nice and fresh copy of SH IV for him there, just begging to be played!
Good luck Dowly!
