This program has changed a lot since DS went thru it. It changed while he was going thru it. So I can only address his situation. Pro: If you are wanted a junior college degree paid for it is fine. Some schools are much more military school based than others. A lot of it is what you make of...

You ever have one of those days when you just don't want to move??? Penny has them all the time.

Been listening to Kenny Wayne Shepard and Jonny Lang a lot. And most recently Tedeschi Trucks Band.

That's a congressman who has had way too much medical or any other type of marijuana. Wonder how many face palms were going on in the room.
