Going the military route can pay dividends....tony and I are both vets, as is our oldest. He works on the river now with a big towboat company out of paducah, he loves that job....and great pay and benefits. Tony has a great job as an electrician which he learned there.
Our youngest was hoping to go to Annapolis, but didn't make it. Lsu made a nice offer, but after talking with the recruiter, he joined the navy. Why pay to get a degree when they'll teach you while you get paid, and get hands on experience to boot? and he still has a shot at OCS and his real dream of being a pilot. In the meantime, he went nuclear electronic tech....and just got a massive bonus for reupping to 2019. They don't like spending all that time on training and qualifying just to have you leave, so they made it worth his while to stay.
