You will find the sea of immorality just about wherever you go. God has given us the grace to be Catholic and we have to live that holiness that God calls us to. And who knows who you could be a vehicle of conversion for?

I clearly acknowledged that he millitary is not the only job where one will find immoral coworkers, but I explained the ways in which it is uniquely suited to inculcating a depraved *lifestyle*

I have asked before, what is your first language?

Honestly, the military is the best gig going for any young man that doesn't have appropriate connections to obtain employment after college.

I agree with you sedetrad.

I would discourage the military as an option, unless you wanted to excel at some exclusive military skill like flying a fighter jet or some military activity.

Someone advised me the opposite was true. He said for every pilot in the air there are 200 people supporting it. He said get a math or engineering degree and go in the AF, they have the nicest facilities for families.

I wish my former husband would have joined the Army. After college he did require service in his native country's military and the same position here was really in demand.

What country is that? I didn't know there was mandatory service--is it a draft?

Not a draft for war but mandatory service. He is close to 50 so this was some time ago, have no idea what it's like now.
