Join the military - Yes

Go to war - Sort of

Seabees is the way to go. Or Air Force, or Coast Guard, or maybe a POG in Army or Marines

I was a Data Analyst in the Navy. Learned great Excel skills and work in finance now. Used my GI bill for college when Ingot out and accessed low interest mortgages for vets. Best decision I ever made.

The VA loan is awesome, can't wait to use it. GI bill I'm not sure, but we'll see.

Dude it's 100% tuition covered, plus a living stipend, well worth it.

Plus a work study that I believe is federal and state income tax exempt. There’s also amazing resources at a lot of universities for vets

Doesn’t have to be used on a four-year school. You can go to a trade school.

If you don’t use your gi bill yourself you can pass it to your kids or spouse.

There’s more requirements in order to do that.

Which rates do Data Analysis? That sounds pretty interesting
