Input: My (F24) boyfriend (M24) has been talking about going into the military since we met over a year ago. I asked him multiple times why this was his career choice in the first place, and the only reply I’ve gotten more frequently is that it was his only option (i.e. college isn’t for me, I don’t have other skills, can’t make a living doing min wage jobs, etc). He also has expressed interest in being in the military for travel reasons and benefits, but the other reasons still stand. I have a full time job as a nurse, so money is not much of an issue for me. He wants to make more, naturally, so that he and I will be set in the future. 

He and I have talked about the future and it is apparent that whatever avenue life takes us, we will be together.  But, I have brought up the fact that going into the military is a giant time commitment and will have him be away during the best years of our young lives. I have brought up so many other routes as well (especially fire) and he brushes over them. He is pretty dead set on going to the military although multiple people in his friend group, family, and mine, have advised him against it. 

Tonight, he and I went to my mothers house for dinner and she mentioned that our local fire dept was hiring for entry level into the academy. I immediately backed her up and explained what a wonderful idea what this was. We kept explaining each reason why it would be better for him, and us, if he chose this route. I at least ask him to consider it as an option and he glazes over it with barely any acknowledgement. 

 I guess my question is that I am wondering if AITA for cornering him with my mother in beliefs that multiple people hold, including myself, about this? Is he TA for not even considering it?
