Most military now say they wouldn't choose same career for their kids

If there are no volunteers, then it would be safe to say that a draft would happen. Military that have kids still need to register for selective service upon turning 18 as well. Ultimately, it's up to the individual. For me, I am a third generation Airman; if I did have kids, I'd definitely let them know everything I know to make an informed decision. Just my two cents SGT (Join to see)

That is sad if it were true SGT (Join to see). Since this headline this is based on the 2016 Blue Star Families annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey I do not believe that the bulk of military service members say they wouldn't encourage their children to choose the same career.
According to the survey data "Blue Star Families conducted its 7th annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey in April May, 2016 with over 8,300 respondents including military spouses, active duty service members, veterans, and their immediate family members participating in the survey."
The headline is based of the observation that Veterans recommend service at higher rates than active duty.
1. 43% of "active duty military families" are likely to recommend service to their own children.
2. yet 66% of "active duty military families" are more likely to recommend a young person join the military.
3. 57% of veteran family respondents would recommend service to their own children.
Here are some quotes from the study results.
"Family separations continue at high levels. Despite the troop drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan, military families continue to experience high rates of separation from their service member. 42% of military family respondents report experiencing more than 6 months of family separation in the last 18 months and 37% of military couples reported experiencing relationship challenges in the past year related to worry over future deployments. 16% of active duty family respondents had a family member currently deployed."
"Increasing service member worry over the impact of deployments on their children. For the first time since the survey began ranking issues by respondent subgroups in 2014, active duty respondents ranked the impact of deployments on children as a Top 5 issue. Active duty respondents who indicated the impact of deployments on children was a Top 5 issue increased 57% as compared to the 2015 survey, with active duty and military spouse respondents both ranking it the #4 issue for 2016."
"Veterans recommend service at higher rates than active duty. The majority of active duty military families (57%) are unlikely to recommend service to their own children. Active duty military families are more likely to recommend a young person join the military (66%) than they are to recommend service to their own children (43%). 57% of veteran family respondents would recommend service to their own children"
"Services recruit families, not just individuals. History of family service was strongly associated with current service and among military spouses. Nearly half (47%) of military spouse respondents and 45% of active duty respondents had a parent who served in the military. 9% of all respondents had a child who served in the military."
"Military spouses and service members are likely to come from military families. Military spouse respondents indicated they had a parent who served (47%) at a rate slightly higher than reported by service members (45%), while 57% of veteran respondents had a parent who served."

Recently had this discussion with my youngest daughter. With sequestration, troop reductions and social engineering all going on while trying to fight a war in Afghanistan and Iraq again (notice the numbers of troops committed are rising) She can wait until some semblance of sanity returns. Until then she's in college for a criminal justice degree. My son and I served so I think we've done our families share.
