And thank you VERY much for your service, but yeah, there is no charge for tuition, room, board, books.


Think you missed the point. After graduation you spend 5 years minimum serving. During this time you get minimum pay. Academy grads are high in the starting salary rankings because they have at least 5 years experience when they get a civilian job.
