 Exactly. I had to take a semester off while under the 9/11 bill, and I was able to start right up again. If you go to the same school you might not even have to refile your paperwork.

Correct, it's a simple form (VA Form 22-1995 found here: http://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/vba-22-1995-are.pdf) and that's your only real obstacle outside of credits being accepted.

I had a look at their website, jesus gently caress is that place veteran unfriendly. 1k/1k is pretty loving awful.

I had a friend go there, he had an awesome time down there, but yeah it's very unfriendly to Vets. It's fun around Mardis Gras, though.

Just so you know, when you transfer to a four year school they probably wont take ANY of those military credits.

You'd be surprised. I got 40 credits for Basic and medic school.

I know that's an exception rather than the rule, but it never hurts to get the ACE transcript sent.

 Wounded Warrior seems to be the favorite. I'm partial to Fisher House as well- they provide housing for families who have loved ones at Walter Reed/BAMC/other military hospitals.

 Is that if you're doing all online classes only? Because I took a bunch of online courses when I was in and still got the full amount.

So in 2014 I had no income besides the GI Bill, which is tax free. So, I made no money in the IRS's eyes. Will I still get anything "back?" Like, is there some kind of credit that applies even if you make nothing?

You should be eligible for the Manti Te'o tax credit

This has probably been touched on in this huge thread and I think I already know the answer, but is going to school part-time practical at all under the Montgomery or Post 9/11? Or would I just be pissing money away?

I'd like to just attend full-time but I have my reasons for wanting to work full-time once I get out this fall, and I doubt I could juggle both.

The Post 9/11 is meant to pay for you so you can go to school. That being said I worked full time and did full time school, and was able to balance it.

does my time in A-school and C-school count towards my GI bill?

I believe so- It should start the moment you swear in at MEPS, iirc

Quick question.

I'm a reservist that has 100% post 9/11 and I'm getting my stuff together to go back to school. If I do annual tour or any sort of orders that gives me BAH while enrolled will that mess with the BAH I get from going to school?

No. It does not work like disability, where you have to pay back money if you're currently drilling.

Late to the party but figured I'd chime in.

You're not competing against high performing undergrad geniuses; you're performing against other military folks. Schools (especially MBA programs) have a set number of vets they want, and the top 10 schools have a dedicated veteran admission person who consults with the vet's club at the program to identify top vet talent. You are, therefore, judged and compared against other veterans, and no one else. It's worthwhile to keep that in mind as you apply, and frame your stories/accomplishments as such. No one cares that you managed a division; every vet did. What you ACCOMPLISHED there is the key.

Happy to talk through MBA/M.Eng admissions for anyone that wants to apply. Going through a T10 MBA program now, so can give the in and outs; failed pretty miserably in round 1 with HBS/GSB before I got my poo poo together for Wharton round 2. Wasn't pretty, but pulled it off in the end.

seriously please tell more about this because im not actively doing this but info like this is priceless

I have a medical question: If I have high-functioning autism and have previously suffered chronic symptoms of PTSD from three separate occasions (from social turmoil) in the last few years, would it be respectable or dis-respectful to compare my PTSD to that of a shell-shocked war veteran's?

Honestly it doesn't matter, just do what you do man.
