No he didn’t the timing is wrong unless he was enlisted. His BS from Tech was in 1997 and he should have graduated from High School in 1988 if he is 39. My question is what he was doing before he went to VT? ROTC there for a BS is only 4 years with major penalties for failing classes.
he shouldn’t have joined a service that is supposed to go to war if needed
if he didn’t like war.
