So you were a guard at youth facility?

Or, you will learn that you can have a president of the United States elected who was born here but a few will say he was not, regardless of the state where he was born confirming he was born there.

Well it has never bothered me one way or the other.
Long as he keeps printing that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Back on track... There are several kinds of knowledge, practical knowledge and academic knowledge are two of them. I have worked with Navy enlisted personnel who didn't have a GED but knew everything there was to know about being an electrician, plumber, and hull technician. On the other side of the coin I work with people everyday who have Masters degrees and Phds, some of them can't operate a can opener or drive a car.

Regardless, all branches of the US military encourage enlisted personnel to earn degrees and many take advantage of the opportunity to gain an education on the DoD's dime. Officers are required to keep their skills current, not continuing education is a good way to get RIF'd.

IMO, it doesn't matter where or how you get the education, what really matters is what you do with it.
