As my own son is carefully weighing his options to attend a SA and serve in either the Army or Coast Guard.... I ran across this article from the Washington Post back in late November. Ernesto Londono covers the Pentagon and this is one of many of his submissions.

FWIW, the cycle of military action, buildups and budget was a major talking point during my son's WP interview. The retired Colonel made a convincing case for the merits of being a cadet and/or junior officer during the lean times.
Curious what others that have gone through these military expansions and cutbacks think?
