I went to school in Austin when I first got out of the Army, Spring of ‘95, and the only way I got in was I had ~50 hours to my name as a transfer student (University of Maryland) taking college undergrad classes while in the military. Always grew up a a Longhorn, thanks to Dad, and it was just a given fact. Plus the fact that I was 25, married, and had MFng bills to pay already. I couldn’t get in straight out of HS in ‘88, so I went to the Army for the college fund they were offering back then. We were living in a small ~ 500’ 1 Brm apartment off Runberg, behind the SF Steakhouse back then, so small only one could get in/out of the bathroom at a time.
i finished at tiny McNeese (Lake Charles) as that’s where my wife’s job as a court reporter moved us and she was basically paying all the bills, as my Army college fund only brought in about 750 monthly as a full time student. Always thought I’d go beck to UT and get my MBA, but life happens.
Hook’em!!!
