I graduated from the Air Force Academy. My advice is go to Stanford(if you can afford it). There are lots of ways to travel and it does not have to be through the military, although that option may always open up in the future. My son is about to graduate from RIT and he has been travelling extensively in college, mostly all for free. He has attended math conferences and is being recruited by different schools for his PHD(they have paid for his trips to visit these schools)
Stanford will open many doors in the future. She should take it if at all possible.
