Long story short-get a job in the civi world first. you don't want your first 'real world' job experience to be in the military world.
Maybe once he's 25 or so, and still want to go in, then go for it.
(I tried to get into recruiting near the end, so I know how it works. I took my own leave to do work experience at the recruiting centre, and I was still denied for the transfer-it happens everywhere).

This is something he has considered, he has spoken about taking a 'gap year' at the end of yr12 so he can top his bank account up working full time with his current employer before he enters the Force.
