Consider going to a college or university that has an ROTC program. If you go that route you'll have a college degree in four years or so AND you'll be a commissioned officer in the military when you graduate from college. Best of both worlds.

Look into the Army Reserves. You go to boot camp during the summer after High School and drill the weekends when you are in college. During your summer breaks you can drill and earn some money.

Go into the Reserve Officer training core,ROTC, your tuition is free and you get alot more benifits, you get the army experiance, and the college one at the same time. Good luck either way, hope you serve our country.

Navy pays for your tuition while you're on active duty, up to a certain amount per credit hour.
I'm two classes away from having an associates degree...none of which I've paid for out of my own pocket.

Do both, join ROTC and become a officer while going to college.

most colleges have an jrotc program that you can go through and if you graduate like that you have to go into the military. or you could go to a military college such as the citadel or west point.
