If they make them start buying into the GI bill it makes it infinitely harder to take those benefits away. $2400 for the worlds greatest college scholarship is still a great deal.

Diarrhea Elemental posted:Jesus Christ, I think I'd die in my sleep just from the flexeril. That and cyclobenzoprine are two things that are guaranteed to provoke profound apneic episodes. After a single dose to zonk me out I'd wake up the next day groggy through half the day and completely lethargic, plus the worst splitting headaches I've ever felt outside of a genuine vomit-inducing migraine. Cyclobenzoprine is Flexeril.

Frosted Flake posted:The school administration has been way more accommodating to me as a "high performance athlete" than they ever were as a disabled vet. The change was pretty much night and day. Deferred exams, tutoring, a more flexible schedule, I can even ask profs to be graded on a reduced workload. What sport?

Viva Miriya posted:I thought some chick at the vets office here on campus had some hope for me, but no i got sealawyered. At this time i get no GI bill (General discharge); I do qualify for vocrehab. I have a 3.74 I can pull up to a 3.9 if I have a perfect performance the rest of my 2 years. Which is probably how long its gonna take the NDRB to give me an appointment for a personal hearing for me to, most likely, walk out of there with a new DD-214 with an honorable on it. What did you do to get a general instead of an honorable?

GD_American posted:I went back to school full-time when I got sick of the layoff cycle at the chemical plant. GI Bill paid my mortgage, wife's job paid most of the bills, we dialled back our lifestyle and used student loans to cover the remainder of it. Some folks could do the full school load and 40+ hrs at work a week; I knew I was not mentally equipped to. Right on, good to see you were able to use the GI bill, I was concerned that perhaps you were somehow not aware of the benefit or something. Are you a chemist or a chemical engineer? Those are the only two jobs I know of at chemical plants. And congrats on the better more flexible job and your decision to further your education. That shits awesome man. Always happy to see a Gipper in school bettering themselves, or at least their CV’s.

Technically only the classes applicable to your degree that you’re using for credit should count towards your GPA, but as I understand that’s not really how it works? He’s in a Masters program I believe, and 3.0 is usually the floor. I’ve seen it as high as 3.25 before at one school.

When do you usually see BAH and book stipends pay out? I just finished my first week of school and already had to lay out $789 for books.. so I’m really rather curious as to when I can expect to see the money come in. This is my first time using Post 9/11 GI bill- if that matters for whatever reason. My monthly disability funbux paid out on time but nothing else has. Should I just expect it to happen randomly and without rhyme or reason? Are they just letting chaos reign down at the VA during the shutdown?

Gray Matter posted:What better way to round out my final semester in the CS program than by taking "Basic Computer Skills for MS Office Applications" (along with Operating Systems) I’m studying programming and there is a pre req class I’ve dropped twice because it’s 3 hours of how to edit word files and PowerPoints. The class is filled with people who do not know how to use a computer so 2 hours out of 3 is the teacher walking through how to left click and poo poo. I’ve dropped it twice after a few weeks, but it’s a required class for Database Design, so I’m just gonna suck it up and do it.

Just please, I implore you: do some research the next time the issue comes up professionally for you before firing both barrels with your current thinking. The world, industries and schools have changed since UoP was the only real player.

It’s not vocational rehab anymore, fysa. It’s vocational readiness and employment.

False, completely false. VR&E isn’t affected by post 9/11 benefits left, and it’s also no longer the case the other way around. Using VR&E no longer drains your Post 9/11, and your Post 9/11 no longer drains your VR&E. I’d recommend using VR&E first for your undergrad. Mostly because it’s much easier to get the counselors to sign off on your plan if it’s your undergrad. Not that they won’t pay for grad school or law school or whatever, it’s just a ton of hoop jumping and begging with some counselors. Meanwhile, once you complete a program with VR&E they will make it very hard to start another program, even if you’ve got benefits remaining. Meanwhile post 9/11 is dead simple to use and anywhere it’s accepted your good to go (Some schools are more expensive than what post 9/11 will cover but most of those have Yellow Ribbon as a fall back) at your own leisure and with nobody but yourself to answer to. If I got this wrong, let me know, but this was a recent change.
