poo poo. All this talk of losing financial aid after your first bachelors makes me even more anxious to try and double-major. Even if my class schedules lined up perfectly there is no way I could graduate simultaneously with both, but I could cut it down to about a year of additional schooling. (Currently majoring in Industrial Design, considering Computer Science.)

(Currently majoring in Industrial Design, considering Computer Science.) It's not that big of a deal if you're starting as a double major. It becomes a larger deal if you're starting from scratch after already getting one.

I want to thank all of you who've helped with my questions, because I know I can trust this forum. Right now after more consideration and talking it out for nearly an hour with my girlfriend, I'm leaning towards not finishing with TESC and transferring my credits into a BS, and doing something I want to do. Do major schools typically accept transfer students for winter semester? I need to get this application process together soon. shyduck fucked around with this message at 09:20 on Feb 27, 2013 |

Generally yes, unless the program in particular happens to be structured to the point where they only accept new students for the fall. If that were to happen, you could always just go undeclared for a semester or two. The only thing to be really cautious about is how your credits transfer. It's never pretty. If you can transfer 65%, that's a good deal. My school, for example, is notoriously bad at accepting credits. If it doesn't match nearly word for word, topic for topic in a course catalog, it's iffy at best.

Also, I haven't taken too many classes at TESC for it to really be a wash as far as that route; they simply took a ton of stuff. I have no real investment with the school, so no biggie either way.

I'll be honest: the fake military stuff is hilarious. Doubly so because I know how little anyone will give a poo poo in the real military. I used to love making fun of academy/citadel/VMI grads as a nuke school instructor. Now I can do it from the other end. God help any future babby-nukes I run into. I like just sitting on the quad watching all of the freshmen do their haze-walk in the gutters while saluting everyone. Yesterday I saw an upperclassman reaming a freshman for not walking fast enough down the road. I can't wait to see the next combat patrol across the quad looking for IEDs or whatever it is they do.

We have uniforms at my school, basically old Johnny Cash Working Blues (but also a short sleeve working blue). There's a Merchant Marine Reserve component that spergs about their uniforms, but they have an honest to God LCDR that keeps them in line. Most other people look hilariously bad. I knew one guy that had a rip in his pant leg past his knee, and just refused to do anything about it. The kids that actually give a drat about their uniforms are kind of sad. If they wanted to join the military they could sign up for the MMR program and earn cash while in school, but instead they just like to pretend that their uniform means something. They let vets wear their medals with the uniform, and it seems like about 50% do. Mostly Army and Air Force, although a couple of Navy guys wear them (all surface WARRIORS though). In my particular class, no one wears them. I tend to think that if the Nav wanted me to wear that poo poo, they'd still be paying me.

The god damned vonapp thing is pissing me off. I tell it I don't have a vonapp account. I can log into my DS account to create one. I get linked to my DS account and login. I come back and I'm at the beginning of the vonapp process again. It asks me if I want to log into my DS account. If I click that, it sends me to a "DS logon simulator" that has some blanks to fill in to simulate a DS login. I don't even loving know at this point. EDIT: Just made a vonapp account instead. That was a waste of a half hour of my life. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Feb 27, 2013 |

I got to where I needed to put every college I've attended in and stopped for now. I hurt too much at the time to focus. Also that's like 5 different places I have to look up not counting the couple of classes I've done via correspondence. The thing is, and these sites and things like the VOW act make clear: the government doesn't seem to give a poo poo really if you know what your benefits are OR take advantage of them.

So about 5 weeks ago after I did my taxes I put in a FAFSA appeal for change of income. Had to wait till I did my taxes for 2012 so I could prove that my income dropped a shitload and I deserve sweet Pell Grant monies. I figured it'd get approved no problem since my taxable income for 2012 was 3 grand, but I'm concerned about this sequester stuff. Is that gonna possibly gently caress me out of my free money? Edit: why the gently caress do I still think it's 2012. LEGIT WAR CRIMINAL fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Feb 28, 2013 |

If I plan on using GI bennies in the August what is the absolute last day I should transfer to 9/11 so I don't have to worry about poo poo. I still have to apply for FAFSA and waiting on transfer acceptance letters for some and finalizing applications for others.

With my experience so far, almost all community colleges will have no issue accepting the Post 9/11, just as long as you qualify. I had a retard moment where I was trying to get into this nursing college, I assumed it was community, however after speaking to an adviser, I found out that it is a "For-Profit" school. The Post 9/11 will still pay some, but id have to pay the rest with some other way. So just make sure you don't do what I did and waste three weeks.

HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:Hey does anyone else always get paid on the 1st instead of the last of the month? The funds are released from the treasury on the last working day of the month. Depending on your bank and other methods of financial sorcery, it may take a full day to clear. shyduck posted:To piggyback this, would something like this affect Yellow Ribbon eligibility? YR only kicks in if your academic expendatures are over $18,300 in tuition for an academic year. Most community colleges top out around 2k for full time status.

Assuming 1 August, you want to have your certification completed by the 2nd week in June, which means you want to apply for your benefits the first week in May.
