Ten years ago that would be correct. It's closer to $98,000 today. It takes about 3 years of training before they are on their own. During the training period, they are bringing in about $39K.
I can't recall if they needed college degrees or not.
The military trained them, paid them, and six years later they both walked over the line to excellent civilian jobs.
I don't know if you can still do that or not, but that remains the BEST job training program I have ever heard about.
