ACE credit for possible military enlistment?

Do not let your son enlist. Have him blast through his associates using Straighterline, etc. alternative credit, save a year that way, go to an in state 4 year and finish his bachelors while doing ROTC. The quality of life difference between enlisted and officer is immense. If I could go back and change things I would have sucked it up and gone to college first before enlisting. My medical retirement would be a lot cushier.
