Ever thought of joining the military to pay for college?
Question:
...thats my sales pitch. if you want to know more then yahoo messenger me at sean_mchugh6 or just post your comments on joining the military to pay for college.
Answer:
As an Air Force retiree with 21 years of service time, I applaud you for considering this approach. Nowhere on earth can you get a better deal. Obviously there are constraints especially in time of War, but not only will most Universities give credit for Military service, the military will reward you by providing assistance in the form of tuition and grants to allow you to complete your courses. In addition, University of Phoenix will assist you with online courses that can be carried with you regardless of location. In addition, military service provides the maturity to stay the course. I would consider the U.S Air Force as a first choice, and the Navy a close second.
Good for you.
No!
I want to live!
And war means killing people, and killing people means no pass to Heaven...
Still, good luck man.
Just remember, there are strings attached. Don't join R.O.T.C. if you're a pacifist. Also, expect to be called into service when the time comes.
You always have to pay the piper if you want to dance.

I had a friend who did this. It took him forever to get through school. When you do this, they place your education at the bottom of the level of importance. You may not go to class for months and then go for a week and then away again for months. It is up to you, thats just one persons experience. After 3 years he didn't even get enough class time to get his associates. He could have went to somewhere else and been nearly done.
im glad you are willing to join the military. i, howver, am not
I am glad you are glad to have done it although I worry about some of the soldiers over there now. Military is not for everyone..i question everything including authority...and this made me a researcher. So I get paid to go to school, get paid to learn different languages.and I get paid to travel.granted not to Iraq panama or Kuwait but to Greece, Quebec, California, Wisconsin, St. Louis. There are perks to different careers and educational choices, what matters is you like what you are doing.and you can live off what you are doing. Also making a difference matters. Smiles.
