If you are thinking about serving
your
country, earning a salary right away, and getting a training that will
help you in your future, then joining the military may be right for you. Through
various education programs, you may even be able to earn your college degree
while in the service or have the government pay for part of your
expenses after you leave the service.

Talk with your counselor about specialized military
opportunities such as the academies, ROTC scholarships, the national guard
and reserve programs.
