Has he thought about the National Guard? In LA, it is a six-year commitment. Your basic training and AIT are split--you do one the summer after HS graduation, and the AIT the following summer. One weekend a month, two weeks each summer.
Tuition in LA is free for in-state schools, but in TX, I believe there is some limited assistance. All this IN ADDITION to the GI bill.
He can pick his branch of service based on interest, or based on a national guard unit nearest the university he chooses. Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits are pretty darn good.
Tell him to go talk to a recruiter. Depending on his chosen specialization, he can pick up some great tech skills. Military service looks great on a resume; national guard service can qualify him for VA home loans and other benefits, as well as USAA.
