Service offers training, chance to serve U.S.

Parise Whitley’s critique of the military’s recruitment program was informative and useful for those who wish to avoid military service. However, for those wishing to further their education, military service might deserve a second look. My stepson received valuable training that allowed him to continue his aspirations as an interventional cardiologist. I received my pilot training from the USAF and was pleased to pay back to my country for the lifetime of security that I have received. I found that serving my country and receiving an education at the same time to be a very rewarding adventure.
