I think that when people are thinking about the education level of the Mlitary they are falling victim to an Out-dated perception. 30-40 years ago the military was an avenue for people who didn't have the grades for College or any direction, as of yet, in there lives. Still is to some extent. I know that when I joined it was to basically do something with my life. and when I joined they were just starting to implement standards for enlistment. They were looking at things like High-school Graduate or not, or if you had a clean police record.

and as time progressed it actually became tougher to get into the military than ever before. Also as technology started to come to the Fore front the need for more Trained and Educated personnel came into play so the Military had to change its standards.
