I got a nephew that just graduated Penn State through ROTC Air Force, got his commission as an officer a few months ago.
Due to cuts to active personnel, he is being told that he most likely will not get a spot to serve.
Kid is an engineer to boot and is now as a result of that news is headed to either Wharton or Harvard for an MBA.
Of course if he was an Indonesian communist homosexual the Air Force would probably have given him command of a fighter squadron.
Sounds like your nephew will do just fine. He could build a business resume, serve in the reserves, and then go where he’s really needed—building a post-GOP political party here at home.
