It’s the summer before our freshman year as college, and you’re already saving what you can from your job for the coming semester. You know that every penny that you make mopping the floor at McDonald’s will make it just a little easier on your parents, who were hesitant enough in letting you attend college out of state. Not only were they worried about their “baby boy”, but they also weren’t too prepared for the financial burden.
Meanwhile, you listen to the radio reports on what’s happening in Vietnam. Some of the guys that you knew in high school has been drafted, and several others have enlisted in the navy and air force. You know that some of them may be dead, and feel a bit guilty that you’ve decided to go to college instead of help your country, but you’re sure that you would be able to do more in college than you would in Vietnam.
On the other hand, though, the navy is offering a pretty hefty amount towards tuition for anyone that serves for three years. It would certainly help your parent’s wallet to enlist.
