The guys using their GI Bill, what day of the month do you usually see the BAH payment? I got my first payment on the 23rd last month and haven't seen anything since. I'm assuming it's not a normal 1st and 15th thing?

What effects does failing a class have on GI Bill benefits?

This is all I could find on the VA's site. https://gibill.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1434/kw/failed%20class

It sounds like it just counts towards the 36 months of benefits, which is fine since I only need about half of that to graduate. I just want to make sure there isn't something else I'm missing.

If there is no real downside I am pretty much done stressing myself out over my english class being taught by oval office supreme and want to retake it with a different professor next semester.

You have to pay it back if you drop, not fail. Speaking from experience, on both accounts

Good to know, thanks!

Figured this might be the best place to put this, let me know if another thread would fit it better.

I need help writing a resume. I'm still AD and don't intend getting out soon, but I want to build one up for school prospects and just to have so I can update it, but I'm clueless on how to best capture my background, which is:

Pre-military:
6 years retail, working up to management
1 year as an accountant (not CPA)
Bachelor's degree
Military:
6 years military where I joined as an E-3, and made it to E-5 before I commissioned.
3.5 years as an Officer where the skillset is completely different than my rating as Enlisted.

I just have no idea the best way to put all this stuff in. I figure I'll get rid of the retail experience, because it was over 10 years ago and the other skillsets I have completely trump that I think. I know I can pull some good stuff from my OER's to put in that field, along with my position description, but I really don't know where to start.

Are there any good websites that aren't just trying to take my money? Or any place for decent sample resumes I could take a look at?

Shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll shoot you a copy of mine if you want to see what one looks like.

I've been through taps twice and a job targeting college course so I feel it's pretty solid at this point.
