Hey Marshall...

Find a good Recruiter a little low in his numbers for the month ... Just kidding !!

I would tend to agree with what everyone is saying thus far in regards to needing a more clear cut consequence to your brother's actions. We were all 16 once but I think .. well at least in my case.. there were more strict consequences back in the day.. even just knowing what may happen if I get caught sometimes was enough persuasion to keep things together.

As mentioned private schools can be expensive and may not be an option.. I'm not sure how military schools rate in terms of costs etc... but with both maybe taking the initiative as brothers to maybe speak to the schools to see what kind of financial arrangements can be made.. ya never loose just by asking questions !!

You can tell it's definately wearing on all of you guys and you hate to see it happening but keep on his case in the meantime even though it can be quite a pain in the butt. Like you said you're not exactly sure what combination of events really triggered his behavior so hopefully if you keep at it until something is worked out maybe you'll catch his attention before reality sets in and he is knee deep in trouble or even another school..

Hope everything works out for ya !!
