He may not change at all. It's his job life not his home life. My niece is in the Military, in fact she's been in for eight years. I don't think it really changed her anymore then any other choice she would have made.

My boyfriend just got back from Basic & AIT. He plays a bit rougher with me. He doesn't really know his own strength. He likes to sleep whenever he can. He swears a little bit more than he used to, but not as much as I was expecting. haha I thought he would want everything to be tidy, but our apartment has been a wreck ever since he got home! My BF has been eating everything in sight! Hope that answers your question. :)

Unless he was loud to begin with, he will be louder than before. He will be thinner. He will want to climb you like kudzu climbs a telephone pole -- fast, completely, and forever. Sorry, I know that's crude, but I remember. Also, possibly more respectful to others and more ambitious.

He will know how to murder a dummy using a bayonet
He will either salute you or paint you white when he returns
He will have taken a lover named Lily Wong

Yeah I've heard that one :) It's funny because he was the opposite before he left so that should be interesting.
