BootStrappers is a different thing.
Back in the day there was a program called "Operation BootStrap" for enlisted.
The deal was "if you get a degree...we'll put you thru Officer Training"

I spent over a year working two jobs (military and part time) to be able to afford tuition
AND...I took a full college load.
(sleep? what was THAT?)
In order to qualify..

Then I went TDY to college full time...

..I got the degree.. then they renigged on the deal.

they decided they didn't need any more officers..
so I spent many more years as enlisted.
