Not quite, but our buddy Glen was seriously there for close to 8 I think. Of course, he came out with a Master's.. Scott only had a Bachelor's to show for his 6-7 year tour.  |
I was in school for 6 years. However, I never did summer school, I took a quarter off to work at U. Iowa, and the last two years I was a part-time student because I had a full-time job as a software engineer.
Plus the "normal" 4 year tour is 4 years * 3 quarters = 12 quarters total.
The "realistic" tour is 5 years * 3 quarters + say 3 summer quarters = 18 quarters total.
I did 3 years * 3 quarters + 1 year * 2 quarters + 2 years * 3/2 quarters = 14 quarters, so I was actually somewhere faster than average.
Also, I learned in college how to use logic to justify just about any premise.
