Another route is the GI Bill, of course.
True...however, 2 of neighbor’s kids might not be eligible even if they wanted to serve, though I am sure dad would feel better having kids in military with our new CIC :)
One currently at community college probably would not make it thru med qualification as she has had Non-Hodgkin lymphoma twice!!! Pretty unbelievable to have it twice! She has been well for 2 or 3 years now, but I am sure that would raise some eyebrows on a DOD medical information form. One of mine was disqualified from academy because of a recent back injury from a car accident.
Another of neighbor’s kids, a junior in high school, was hospitalized last fall for some sort of severe colitis...I mean major issues; in hospital for several days and docs could not stop pain, he could not eat etc...major concerns! His condition is now manageable but somewhat chronic...
Anyway, we often talk about college stuff as I have had 3 that have seen light at the end of tunnel, so I will gladly pass along the information you have shared.
