I think the Coast Guard has it as well, but I'm not sure. Enlisting doesn't mean you have to go be a ground pounder in some god forsaken place. If he considers this route just make 1000% sure to get any offers from a recruiter in writing. It also would make him eligible for VA loans down the road which are pretty juicy. Just throwing out ideas. |
Yeah we're keeping that as an option, but he really wants to play baseball in college. He can definitely play at the JC level, but has his sights set a bit higher. It would be a buzzkill after busting his butt for decent grades in high school in order to get into a good 4 year school somewhere, only to end up with the JC guys who are there cuz there grades are in the toilet.
Sidenote:
Not trying to offend those JC'rs out there. I was one myself. As a parent, I'm looking for my kid to do better than I did.
