My kids and I visited a squadron.  They were a bit small/unorganized but this is summer.  I'm going to try another squadron next week for contrast.  Until I talk directly to a PDO (development officer), my college potentials seem a little fuzzy - just finishing my BALS at TESU and thinking of taking Liberty's MA in Interdisciplinary Studies.  Either: Psychology/Life Coach OR Psychology/Theological.  The degree requires 2 areas of study.  As for my kids, they'd have to really want it since they're already overbooked.

My son absolutely loves it.  But it would certainly depend on the squadron.  Luckily, it does not take up a great deal of time (every Thursday night from 6-9).  He spends additional time studying and taking online tests when he's ready for a promotion, completely on his own.  And he does not do every single thing that comes up - some he does if he has time, some he doesn't.  He did a bunch of color guard stuff for graduations in May/June, then the squadron took the entire month of July off.

I would say that for any activity my kids do, if they don't REALLY want to do it, I'm not going to waste my time and money on it.
