"He wants to go in the reserves, he’s choosing between the army and the marines. He scored really well on his testing for the army."
Jon added that he's focused on his kids rather than dating right now after Dr. Oz asked about his relationship status.
"I’m really just focused on those things, I'm not really focused on my status in the world or being with another woman.
Back in September 2020, Jon was accused of “causing bodily injury to a child through recent act/failure to act: hitting/punching," in a report viewed by .
NASTY ROW
Collin also claimed his father “beat” him in a now-deleted Instagram post.

"He then continued to kick me in the ribs after I was on the floor. He is a liar.”
Jon's rep exclusively toldl The Sun: "Jon has never abused Collin. No charges have been filed against him and there’s no ongoing CYS investigation.
"Collin has endured severe trauma. Jon is a loving father who has worked hard to ensure that his son gets the support and help he needs."
Elsewhere in the interview Jon admitted he hasn’t spoken with his twin daughters Cara and Mady, 21, in about eight years amid the nasty feud with ex Kate Gosselin.
Dr. Oz revealed that in Cara's biography page for the rowing team, she only listed her mother as her parent.
When asked how he felt about being omitted, the reality star mentioned: "It's just like anything. It's just like an emergency contact. It doesn't make me feel any different."
He then admitted he has not spoken to his twin girls in "eight years."
Jon said: "I text them every single year. And every time I come here to your show or interview, I text my daughter every single time."
He revealed that they have not "blocked him" because "it's blue."
Jon believed Cara might possibly be "angry and scared," because she does not want to "upset her mother.'
While talking about Mady, the TV star pointed out that Hannah "cut through stops" and had dinner with her and the other siblings.
Colin was not in attendance with them at the dinner.
THE ESTRANGEMENT
Kate, 46, and Jon have had an ongoing custody battle since their divorce in 2009 after spending 20 years together.
After years of going back and forth in court battles, the co-parents have currently split where their kids must live with either parent.
Four of the exes' 16-year-old sextuplets – Aaden, Joel, Alexis, and Leah – live with Kate and have moved with her to North Carolina.
