The training finishes in November.
I think i'm talking to him tonight before he goes into the field for 10 days. I'm going to say some of the things mentioned here, thanks.

Personally I think I'd go for the softer approach. I imagine he's just past the "honeymoon period" and is finding that it's all a lot more info and/or tougher than what he had thought/hoped. See if you can get him to set a goal. Like, how about riding it through to the end of April and then reconsidering? See if he can set the date himself so he doesn't feel like it's another "nag" as it were.
The first 6 months of a new job is always the hardest; if he hangs in a bit longer it'll probably start picking up. If he hangs in there for longer than 6 months he may just feel jolly proud of himself for sticking at something for a decent amount of time (it sounds like he hasn't stuck at much else for much longer?). All the best for your "talk" - if you haven't had it already.

Just finished it and it was good. I'm pretty sure he was having a few bad days. He knows that he needs to be there for the boys and their future.
He's off to the field for the next 10 days so that'll be good for him and he's getting excited about the things they are going to be doing - using the night vision goggles and the helicopter exercises.

Glad he's going to stick with it Becks. Also sounds like seeing this through is something he really needs to do.
The Army is a great place to be, and 1 year is not too much to ask for a lifetime of fun and friendships that will come from being an officer in the Army.
Its March already and November is not that far away.
