When compared to nearly every civilian educational statistic, the members of the Armed Forces surpass the educational levels of their civilian peers.
The only thing most of us can't compete with is the fact that we weren't born in Massachusetts with a silver spoon up our keisters, and we didn't serve in Viet-Naaahhhhmm.
