My son went to school in IA, in a HS class they had to research colleges

he didn't include Iowa or Iowa State on his list and the teacher called him out in front of the class. Out of a graduating class of over 400, 70% of which went to college, he was one of 7 that went to a school that wasn't in Iowa or a state that bordered Iowa. 4 of the 7 went to service academies. Another of the 7 spent a semester at Berkley and transferred to Iowa State.

Not yet, but we may be in a similar situation in about 6 years.

You should have a kid enlisting into the military after college

Best thing that ever happened to my son was getting out of his comfort zone
