Interesting Army Side Note: Along with many others, our son entered the service interested in Special Forces. The type of kids who end up in this branch definitely think of it as a contact sport. When the SF recruiter came to West Point to go over the branch requirements, he warned that anyone chosen to serve in SF must be OK with accepting that their bodies will most likely be wrecked, physically and emotionally, by 40. After detailing all the potential after-effects, our son chose a keyboard instead.
