correct me if I am wrong but if you are a college graduate don't you enter the military as as higher rank than say an 18 year old high school grad? Its not to say that it would be easy but being an officer in the military is way different than working your way up from nothing & we also have to think with a degree you are likely to get a job in that filed obviously geared/focused on the military's needs but it wouldn't be so bad. & to all of those that say that they hate the yelling, the waking up early, the working out and the punishements (doing dishes, scrubbing floors) just remember that we put up with much more as dreamers. a lot of us put up with so much BS from our bosses just because we need to keep our jobs, we wake up hours earlier that we normaly would just so we can take the bus to school or work, and we are happy to have jobs even if it is cleaning floors or doing dishes just so we can scrape up enough money to pay for another semester of college, we work out like crazy because its the only thing that helps keep us sane at times.... so if we really want to be here we have to be willing to take whatever opportunity the give us. lets see how much longer they will continue to play their political games... = (
