    Fiance's parent's retirement (need advice)

    Taking aerospace engineering courses online while stationed overseas

    I am leaning towards Central Texas University. They seem to have a good program for military personnel. With them I'll be able to get math out of the way up until calculus III. That, and they teach russian. How awesome is that!
