As far as boot camp changing him, I don't think that it would. My fiance joined the Navy and went away to boot camp and he's pretty outspoken with a rather strong personality (he's not one that you would want to get into an arugment with). I thought that he was going to end up getting into a lot of trouble with his mouth but he was able to learn how to bite his tongue and left bootcamp a bit more calm and mellow than when he entered. He's still the same person, he just has a better handle on things. I also second everyone else's thoughts about not uprooting yourself without being engaged.
