"Most of the military only has a HS diploma or GED....only the officers need a college edumacation."

I am afraid you are mistaken. 98% or more have a HS diploma. Very few GEDs get in anymore, and the ones that do have to score in the highest category on the ASVAB. Plus the Military encourages its' people to pursue secondary education by having classes on post, with professors that are willing to work around military duty, and paying up to 90% of the tuition.
When I was a Platoon Sergeant it was my goal, as with every other PLT SGT I knew to get as many soldiers enrolled in College as possible. It benefits both the Soldier and the Army. And an NCO that does not get some college will seriously hamper his chances of making Senior NCO (SFC, 1SG, SGM). I don't have the stats in front of me, but I would bet close to 50% of SFC and above have at least an Associates.
Todays military is highly edumikated ;-) and very intelligent.

I HAVE admitted that I only have knowledge of the army INFANTRY...can't go to college when you're in the field so damned much.......but that was 8 years ago...and I'm sure they take classes during green periods...
