Can you have one of the family memebers who are/were in the military talk to him about it maybe? My brother was seriously thinking about joining the Army so I had my husband (former Marine) talk to him and not try and talk him out of it, but let him know all the negatives and what to expect. My parents and I tried to talk him out of it but he was all for it until he heard from someone who'd actually been through it.

Oh, and the recruiters aren't telling him this, but there is a 100% chance he is going overseas...many others are on their third time over there
