This is great, and as an aside I want to mention that if you are in high school and you are smart but maybe not ready for college, joining the military out of high school, using your GI Bill to get an engineering degree, and doing a good job and getting good grades is a first class ticket to true middle class.
You graduate debt free, eligible for Pell grants, you get paid BAH (monthly housing stipend) and you don’t have to rush 4 years of school but can take your time. Military service + engineering skills after graduating at, say, 26 years old and you’re set up for a good ride. Plus the VA loan when you’re ready to buy a house.
But if you don’t have a Purple Heart or you aren’t really old you better not park in those “veterans parking” spots I see at Lowes.
