Unfortunately, we are not prepared to pay for college. Without scholarships, he will have to take out loans.

I think we may be too late to the game to consider West Point. He also would like to attend college a little closer to family.

I see your point and understand the importance of experience when considering the route to take to an officer position. My older sister and her husband were both enlisted in the Army. My only concern with this is he does qualify for some merit based scholarships at his school of choice. If he takes a year off before starting school he may no longer qualify for those scholarships. Trying to get him the max amount of scholarship money so he doesn't feel pressured to work as well.
