This is one of the Military's best kept secret. (Note) Private Schools may exceed benefits limits so do your homework and ask questions • Remember, after E4 you have to earn your promotions. Your buddies may end up being you biggest competition! • And finally, manage your pay well by saving it. There is no reason you should not have a few bucks stashed away after four years of service.
