re: What motivated you to join the military?

I joined to pay for college. I did reserves. It was a great decision. It paid for school and allowed me to travel a good bit too and see different parts of the world I wouldn't have otherwise seen.

So I joined bc there was no TOPS when I graduated high school and I didn't have any scholarship offers. I came from a lower middle class family and my parents didn't have a college fund of any sort set up.
