Iowa, I would say that today's military is nothing like what you had to deal with. In general they do take pretty good care of the military members today, sometimes almost to the point of coddling them. If a kid has a good head on his shoulders (he doesn't have to be a genius), and knows how to keep out of trouble, they can go far.
As for becoming a causualty, far more soldiers and sailers are killed by non-combat injuries than combat injuries. They just don't make the news a often unless it's something like a helicopter going down. Somebody getting killed operating a forklift or getting a fatal disease just doesn't get attention from the news.
But anyway, if he's in the Navy, I'd say he's generally going to be well taken care of, at least better than us Army pukes.
