Some young men are ready to take full advantage of college right out of high school.

Some would be better off postponing it. For reasons of interest, maturity, affordability, whatever. For the latter, Army represents a rewarding pre-college alternative. More rewarding in many ways than pumping gas, bagging groceries, or marking time in the company mailroom. Army is a place where a young man can train, learn, have a responsible job, meet people, travel, and mature.

The salary and benefits are also attractive. Then, upon his completion of a three-year enlistment, 36 months financial assistance at the college of his choice.
