Traditional is the best way to go. Even if he decided AD was no longer for him, he could stay in the reserves and still receive a decent pension (as well as the medical benefits which cannot be surpassed). I did six active and twenty-one reserve and don't regret any of it (well, yes, I regret being RIF'd by that Special Forces-hating, scum-sucking Creighton Abrams ... but other than that ....). I still counsel others who are AD and getting out to stay in the Reserves ....
Just my $0.02.
