I could have gone to florida for college. The school I was going to go to had a campus in Daytona. When I applied though my parents talked me into the Prescott, AZ campus instead

I was going to. I was accepted and had about $20000 in scholarships, grants and federal loans but it still left me around $20000 short so I chose to go into the Navy instead. The admissions counselor I met with when she came up to Boise told me that Embry-Riddle actually waves tuition for anyone that serves 3 years active duty in the military which really helped me make my decision

I'm supposed to ship 20151221...I am NOT looking forward to the snow and freezing temperatures. My 'brother' is 6'3 and went during the winter when he did RTC and was saying how there was like 3 ft of snow...I'm a short 5' nothing...3' of snow is terrifying for me haha! Not to mention, I get cold when it's 80 degrees outside...Lord help me!
