Over the past few years he has been "promising" to pay it back but never comes through, he always has an excuse. Well now he has joined the Marines and I'm pretty sure they gave him a signing bonus, yet he still has every excuse in the book.
So heres my question. Is there any simple recourse we can take through the military to get the money from this kid? We realize that this may require a lawyer and whatnot, but just was wondering if anyone knows or had experience with this. I would assume (maybe wrongly) that the military would frown upon a situation like that and try to make him straighten it out before taking him in. Any ideas?

I don't know of any way to get the military to just give you his sign-on bonus. My best suggestion would be to take him to court. Get a lawyer and discuss your options.
And yes, the military checks to make sure you're not in any litigations before they enlist you.
