Yep. I've had friends killed, seriously injured to the point they couldn't return and I was on workers compensation twice. Loved the job though

I had a pilot buddy that attended that same HS- then went on to study aeronautical engineering at the Sam Houston Institute of Technology- also known as the MIT of the Lone Star State. I graduated from St. Francis HS in Wheaton, Illinois.Personally I graduated from Dwight D. Eisenhower Senior High School, in Houston, Texas, in 2004.

Dropped out of HS in 2002, got a GED in either 2003-2004 (I forgot which), then took a college course or two in 2010, then a few more in 2012-2013, then almost nothing, then started going with half the workload in 2017, and have decided to declare a major (criminal justice)
Montpelier, VT HS, 1965; U of VT, 1969; Great Lakes Boot Camp, 1970; Naval Training Device School, 1971; Riverside Aeronautical Maintenance Technician School, 1978. And numerous flight school courses from Florida to Maine. It pays to do your time and get those GI benefits. I served Uncle well and he did well by me. I'd go again if he called.

Unless Uncle Sugar hasn't quite gotten around to passing a Bill granting those benefits yet!
.
And he won't as long as the majority of Americans are allowed to drift ever further from the realities of this world. We need to adopt a policy of UNIVERSAL NATIONAL SERVICE in this country: A.) To get things done, such as health care, infrastructure repair, child and elder care, technical, vocational, and other non-academic education support, etc, that aren't getting done today, and: B.) Give more people a sense of having some "skin in the game", an investment in America, and a perspective beyond their own little "halls of mirrors", as the CCC did in the build up to WWII.
Cheers,
Wes
PS: Two years of completed National Service should be a universal prerequisite for admission to any institution of higher education, by LAW, not by institutional whim. Each year (up to four) of Military Service or service in any of the "uniformed" federal agencies should be worth a year's free tuition in college or trade school. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Like the original GI bill, it will repay ten times over.
