i can't see how sending your HS aged kids to party in the Bahamas on 40k/yr would be at all advisable ... nor how you could afford it on military pay...

I don't know if the OP is going to prep school so her daughter is more "polished", but I can tell you the learning experience in prep school was invaulable. I was international student, so maybe there was a huge cultural shock element to it.
Living in the heart of Silicon Valley I can assure you that the majority of the top brass of most tech companies here come from pretty ordinary colleges (San Jose State, Santa Clara U, San Luis Obispo, etc etc).
Fulfilling in what way?That being said, it is very fulfilling to be able to call yourself a "public school kid"
I was very clued in when I arrived at college. From my point of view, college was a slightly more independent version of prep school. I certainly knew lots of other students. On the other hand, classes were often a bit larger ... until I got to grad school....parents sent us to prep school. Andover for me and Exeter for my brother.
The downside: I was clueless when I arrived at college.
