Hello Freddi,
My advice would be to research the Army and the roles that you're interested in. There are a lot of myths surrounding the Army and how we operate, and a job in the Army isn't without risks. But, having a good understanding of what you're getting into will help both you and your family understand.
I've attached a video that shows how it isn't all about war fighting. Also, have a look at the news links below to see what is going on in defence at the moment.
