[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soooo go into the military with student loans?

What about going in enlisted. Telling your kid to avoid a spouse and kid. Work to a college degree while enlisted and then becoming an officer?

What makes being enlisted so bad?  Most bad reviews come from subpar performances or family at home not being willing to support the things sometimes as stupid a as they are[/quote]

We will pay for our child's college education.  We started planning at birth.  It is very hard to do your degree and become an officer as you only have a short window and that's assuming you will be approved.  Its very very difficult to transfer from enlisted to officer.

What makes enlisted so bad?  Low pay, getting treated very poorly by officers, getting crappy career fields and then being stuck in they as you cannot easily switch, and much more.  You clearly don't know much about military.  [/quote]

My DH could have become an officer but was a SEAL and wanted to be an operator.   Ask any Master Chief who runs the navy, it isn't some young ensign.     Becoming an officer is great and pay is better but this being enlisted isn't poor pay and mistreatment.  Only if you are subpar in work performance. [/quote]
