I don’t think any of it should need financing.
But how is entering the military a sign of success for college?
I’m going to hazard a guess that you’ve not been in the military or you’d understand that one of the things the military does well is career placement and development. This would enhance the previous training while in high school/career-tech by placing the new military member to take advantage of that training. Then, further career development in that job plus leadership training = more bang for the taxpayer $$$ and the military member has great civilian opportunities.
