There is a difference between entering the military at Bill's age and the age I was when it joined me.
Seventeen-year-olds believe what they are told. They can't help it. They're programmed that way.
I listened, and did what they wanted me to do. But my thinking was my own.
Bill will be 19 in April. Being as how UNC-Charlotte isn’t going to offer us a lot of need-based financial aid, he’s going to have to pull himself together and contribute, pretty soon. Getting a job of some kind would be good.
With the state college-savings plan, funded largely by OldTax-lady, he’s got about two years. Some work, or going out for scholarships, might get him to graduation without debt. Then, of course, WORK.
