I always thought well of the GI bills. When in college, I found the Korean Veterans much more focused than us kids. My brother went to business school after an AF enlistment and he was motivated to always find a job. The AF sent me to grad school in service so I never felt I needed to take advantage of the GI bill. I took one course in service that I needed and the paperwork seemed reasonable. OK,Jeneral, I need a ping to these threads as well as a NHH. Thank you. It was 03 deg F in Maine this am before the sun came up. I went xc skiing yesterday in one ft of snow. After the storm the Caribou weather office called me for a report. I am now a valued spotter

Good morning LJ! That's cool about you being a weather spotter. Brrrrrr! It's COLD up there!

I added you on to the daily ping list so you can easily find your way to our Foxhole. Here's your {{{HUG}}}!!! You can get a 'real' hug. (I give the 'non-homo' kind of hugs to girlz.) ;-)

The GI Bill was one of the main reasons I joined the AF after high school. While I was in the AF, I used some of my GI Bill benefits to complete a BS degree which qualified me for OTS. Now that I'm retired, I'm using my remaining GI Bill benefits to train for a new career as a Web Site Designer.

I took advantage of the GI Bill to get my college education. No way I could have afforded it otherwise.

For once the paperwork was not overly complicated or excessive. I never used the home loan because it was just way to much of a hassel for the slight difference in rates at the time.
