Edit:  I really like the idea of public service as payment of education.  I just think we need to rethink the notion that the military is the only route.

Look into the SMART Scholarship. http://smart.asee.org/

As I have said in the past. If a kid is willing to serve, there are numerous educational benefits. Good luck with your son and I wouldn't totally dismiss the Military until he has been disqualifed officially by DoDMERB.
