On the plane today, I sat by a young Army man, who had tried college and didn't like it; and then had tried work, but didn't like it; and was within six months of the end of his Army service - currently as a supply guy in Afganistan.
He had been flying for four days, and was about to surprise his family in Springfield with a Christmas visit. In 15 days, he had to be back in Afganistan.
What a great surprise.
After the Army, he plans to enroll at Eastern Ill.
