When he’s ready to go to college, he can get in touch with the Veteran’s liaison at whatever one he chooses. You get a good one, and they will know how to fight the bureaucracy.

Save every record and keep his resume as current as possible. He may be able to fight admissions and prove that his work experiences should translate into credits.

And when he is at college, save every name and detail of every conversation he has with anyone in admissions or when he’s trying to get his GI Bill. If he becomes the kind of person that they will do anything to get him out of the office and away from their desks, he’s off to a good start.
