What branch did you go to?
I live near UW-Barron. I know people that go there and an instructor. Seems to be a very good place for people to start.
My wife and her sister went to UW-Eau Claire and their other sister went to UW-Milwaukee.
I am a private college boy. Went to a good catholic school. College of St Scholastica in Duluth, MN. The only reason I stayed longer than one year is they kept giving me more aid every year. I was the only Spanish surname person on campus in the early '80's.
By the way Scholastica is where my atheism bloomed.
