[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ROTC scholarships! We have four kids and three are on full ride scholarships with monthly stipends. All are engineering majors and will be doing some tech or flying related job when they commission. They are getting wonderful College educations and serving their country. If your children are fit and smart, maybe consider the service route?[/quote]

Just keep in mind that when they are serving, the military will decide where they serve.   I remember a guy I went to college with [b]found out his first duty station would be in South Korea, which he was not happy about.[/b]

If your kid gets a duty station far away, they won't be able to come "home" for everything (holidays, birthdays, etc.)[/quote]

Why would anyone NOT happy about that assignment? I'd love it. [/quote]

I'm not exactly sure why he didn't want it.  But some of the overseas duty stations can be tough on young single service members.  A lot of things on base are geared towards the families with children, and off base a lot of the locals don't like you.   Most new officers won't make enough money to travel every weekend (and depending on the situation could be restricted from traveling too far without express permission)[/quote]
