Not necessarily. A majority of JO's that didnt go to the academy spend their enitre 1st and/or second commissioning paying off student loans.Correction: rich peeps send their kids to the air farce, coast guard, and officers in the navy. Anyone whose been in the military know where the rich kids are it!
army & marines is where the poor kids go. West Point is where the middle class kinda rich parents kids go.
c
The Citadel, Naval Academy West Point dont recruit on $. They are Highly based on Grades. granted they do favors for the rich.
There is no basis on what branch of military recruiting station the underprivledged go to. That is on the Skill of the Recruiter. There are poor kids in every branch. Not as much in the Air Force because of the more stringent entry stipulations.
So you are off base with that assumption.
