My DS is considering joining the National Guard to pay for college. He is a rising senior and plans to do ROTC in college. His tuition would be covered 100% by NG. We're wondering if it's better to do BCT/AIT in the fall after he graduates, and then start college in the spring semester? That option would mean he misses all the orientations, getting to know other freshman, etc. Or do BCT/AIT after he graduates, but wait to start college the following fall semester? That option means He misses an entire year. He was hoping to complete BCT/AIT in the summer after high school graduation. But it doesn't sound like there is enough time to do so and be back by the time college classes begin. I want him to be setup for success, so any insight would be appreciated.
