College Planning for Military Families – Behind the Camouflage Season 5 | Episode 5

In this week’s episode of Behind the Camouflage, we sit down with Megan Fahy, School Liaison Officer aboard Camp Lejeune, to talk about college readiness and admissions for military-connected students. Megan shares what inspired her to create the College Readiness and Admissions Navigation Program and the gaps she saw military families struggling to navigate amid frequent PCS moves, changing schools, and unpredictable timelines. We discuss the unique challenges military-connected students face in the college planning process, what families can expect from her workshops, and the practical steps parents and students can take to feel more confident and prepared. From common misconceptions about military students to highlighting strengths on college applications, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and actionable guidance for families who want to move from reacting to planning. If college feels overwhelming—or just plain confusing—this episode is one you won’t want to miss. Give a listen!
