I really do feel for you guys. I joined in 1977 and was given entre to the Veterans Educational Assistance Program, which messed over thousands of veterans out of any education benefits at all.

I used VEAP. While on terminal leave, drove to Chanute AFB, walked into AFAC and made a $10,000 deposit into my VEAP account.

Yes, I thought so. I was lucky and got in under the old GI Bill in 1975

I definitely used it.

Ah, VEAP. I remember it well, and yes, many veterans, myself included, got screwed.

Similar. 7 years service. I received a VA loan, and that’s it. Used it a 2nd time, cost me 3%, too. I can’t even get a VA card, as I received ZERO VA.

We got boned.
