    Yeah, military service used to guarantee college with the GI bill. I haven’t looked at it in a long time, but I believe it’s been cut a lot. Military was a way for many low income families (my father at the time, late 80s) to literally get on their feet, work, money, education, pension/retirement.

    Looks like it still does pay for college.











  • Dude, that sucks. A lot of shit happens as a kid you don’t realize was not normal until your brain develops. My kids friends would be able to come over as much as theyd like too, open door policy.

    He’s also been told if he sees a kid at school not eating lunch to tell someone. Well send an extra lunch or extra money if necessary. This was long before this SNAP bullshit, been telling that since he started school.

    Thinking of the shit some kids go through thinking it’s normal breaks my heart the fastest. Second is animals.
