[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get why they don’t, but since we’ve lived in four states since my son was born, I (selfishly) think he should qualify for in state for all four states.

Puhleez. You save enough not having to pay what the rest of us do for healthcare to pay out of state tuition. Not to mention keeping your vehicles registered in the cheapest states and all the other discounts you get. [/quote]

Are you seriously resenting military benefits and discounts?  Puhleez.

I am not from a military family, but I greatly appreciate their service.  Not only do they put their lives on the line for their healthcare, according to recurring reports about the VA that I've heard for years, you might not want their healthcare.

Families are separated for years, not knowing their loved one will survive to come home - and if they do they may be forever changed physically and/or psychologically.

When families are together, it means pulling up roots and going to a new location.  The community may or may not be welcoming.  If it's a foreign posting that allows dependents, you may not even speak the language.

The military's job is so dangerous, traumatic, restrictive, and generally unpleasant that most of us would never voluntarily choose it.  Those who do deserve much better treatment than they get.  If states agreed to give military in-state tuition to any state that they've been posted in (or any state at all for that matter), I think it would be a good starting place, but would not even come close to fulfilling the debt we owe our military personnel and their families.[/quote]
