I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. He isn't dying, he is just joining the service. They will send him home every few months and I am sure he would like to have his pickup. In the meantime, you can keep it for him and keep it in running order very easily. I'd suggest starting it every few weeks atleast, keeping the battery charged. Maybe you could drive it occasionally to keep it in good shape and don't let the grass grow up around it as that will cause serious rust. Uncle sam sends them home to see their familys as they all still have personal lives too, many also have small children, and this is only going to last a few short years unless he enlists further. Is this an older pickup?, not that it matters much, since some of them do have new pickups. When he finishes bootcamp he will probably come home for a couple weeks then. Yep, it's way too soon to dump all his personal belongings, wait and see, then you will be more in the know of what it is that needs doing.
