مستخلص: This manuscript focuses on student veterans' best option to start their post-high-school education: attending community colleges. It illustrates this point using the story of the author, a US Army combat veteran who began his career at a community college, and other veterans who also began their college careers at the community college. Using qualitative methods, the author uses perspectives of former student-veterans to provide first-person accounts of transition into and through college - beginning at community colleges. Four themes emerge from this analysis: acceptance, transition, liminality, and comradery.
