Speaking of which, the service is an excellent way to teach kids responsibility, give them skills AND have a paid for education and medical benefits for eternity...
That is, if your kid is tough enough... one of mine is.....
I really liked the idea of the military providing not just opportunities for college but also training skills! That was until one of my chem techs years ago told me that her years as an air traffic controller for the Air Force on a base in Asia didn't count for civilian purposes and she would have to start at the absolute bottom if she could even get a job in the field.
So she went back to college for her degree. But it was frustrating since I thought that the ideal was to have skills that would be accepted in the real world as well.
