[quote=Anonymous]My sister retired as a Marine Major.  She had great jobs.
She went into Officer Candidate School after
her 4 year Ivy College degree didn't get her a job.
My Dad was disgusted that she was selling bikes with
her expensive Ivy league degree. He encouraged
her to see a recruiter.

Once she was in the Marines she ran into another of
her Ivy league classmates who also could not get
a job and who also joined the Marines.

Anyways  the Marines love soldiers with Ivy educations.
She flew around Europe a lot meeting commanders from
former Soviet Union countries who wanted to join NATO.
The US military flies their officers business class in Europe.

She met her husband in Germany at the Nato school there.

Her husband was an enlisted Command Sgt Major and
he was also a Ranger.

They really had a great and interesting life together.

When she was sent to Korea my Dad envisioned her
sleeping in a pup tent on the border.  Heck no, the
government put her up in 4 star hotels in Korea.

There are great opportunities for women and the 
military likes those with Ivy educations too!
