Scenario:

Carrie is a sergeant in the Army; she has a husband, John, and two children, Maureen and Lisa (14-year-old twins). Because Carrie has been in the Army for 19 years, her family is very familiar with life on an Army base. After two tours of duty and a Bronze Star, Carrie plans on retiring soon and realizes she needs a degree to supplement her Army experience to help catapult her second career. John works at the post hospital and is very supportive of Carrie's decision to continue her education.
