If you have half a BS, you are considered to have an Associates Degree. You get a bigger bonus plus generally rank of E2 upon leaving Boot Camp.

But it does sound like you agree the guy's being lied to, just that he's stupid for believing it.
It does happen, the likelihood is small though. That's like saying if we knew someone won the lottery, someone spending money on it is a smart investment.

Besides, my friends were in the military prior to 9/11. Those non-deployable positions are few and far between, getting into one in a time of war is difficult to say the least (though still possible).

So you and your daughter were lied to, that is unfortunate. My question remains, did anyone present a contract which contradicted what would actually occur?
