 Be honest with him, but you also need to respect that it might be a lifelong dream of his.
What is it about the Army that you dislike? The chance of him getting hurt? Or hurt other? No being home a lot?
Why does he want to join? Do you know? What MOS does he want? Is it just talk or has he taken the test yet or talked to a recruiter?
Army life is not for everyone, but you have to consider that if this is HIS dream, that he will resent you later on for telling him no.
My husband has been in the Army for over 20 years. His first wife bailed on him because she couldn't stand the Army life (even though she was a military brat).

 First visit a recruitment center so you are better informed about the advantages.
Be honest. Tell him truthfully why you don't want him to join.
Because he will have already sensed you don't want it. Ask him why he wants to join. Work through your differenves.
