[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are we doing it? Our kid will have the GI bill from my reserve career. I’m not surprised that the DCUM elite never consider the military as an option, but your kids can look into service academies, ROTC or the reserves. [/quote]

This is what one of my kids did, got admitted to two military academies along with UPenn and MIT, went to West Point, no debt, great experience.[/quote]

Yea you.  My husband is a retiree but he didn't get the GI bill so that only works if you have one.  I would never consider military or ROTC as an option as clearly you went in as an officer vs. my enlisted spouse.  It was very very hard for him to get his degree and it took him many years to get it so I'd rather save as much as we can and forgo things like vacations, a big fancy house, etc. to pay for college.  It's also very hard to get into a military academy if you don't know anyone.  Nor do all kids want to do it.  My kid loves camps at the academy but would never want to attend.  And, being reserves now and the last 10 years with the constant deployments would be horrible.[/quote]
