FWIW. The Vietnam era bill gave me the opportunity to get my college education, and my house. Plus medical benefits, discipline in the service, and travel throughout the world.

And I got shot at only once. Not bad.

I am glad you took advantage of the GI Bill. My father and husband both worked all day and then went to school at night under the GI Bill. My husband carried a full load of college credits. My dad took longer to finish. I know that he would not have been able to go to college without the GI Bill.

Thanks for your service.

I lucked out when using my GI Bill. Illinois waived tuition at State schools for Vietnam Veterans, so I didn't need to use the GI Bill money on tuition. It paid for all the books and other expenses.
