Make sure you're protected in case she decides to come back with the "I supported him through school" argument.

I count my associates when I say I’ve got four degrees because it’s more fun and it’s technically correct.

This.

I've been done with voc rehab for a few years. I'm doing a master's now. They changed GI Bill so that your voc rehab time doesn't count against it anymore. So I suddenly have a bunch of GI Bill time that is about to hit the fifteen year limit.

In this exact same boat. I had to pay for my last semester of master's out of pocket; can I file for reimbursement on it as well now that I got back some GI Bill time?

Mine flat out refused to do postgrad. I didn't argue too much, as I was already in a pretty good gubment job.

It is. If you used VR&E and not GI Bill, you suddenly have a bunch of GI Bill eligibility you didn't have before.

I went to Bishop State today (the community college I graduated from in 2014), both to help my niece sign up for classes and to sign up for a culinary class to burn off some GI Bill time.

I couldn't register. Because I have to provide my transcript from the University of Alabama.

Where I got my MBA.

6 years after graduating from that community college.

To take a baking course.

My experience with the VA during school taught me I never wanted to work with the VA for anything ever again. Good luck dude, I hope everything works out

At one point my career aim was to work for the VA after graduation and I'm so eternally grateful to the people that laughed at me when I told them

U of Chicago is where Richard Spencer did his masters, so it seems like maybe there’s some issues in that institution

So, uhh, any hints for someone who is retiring at the end of this year with nothing other than a mostly CLEP'd CCAF and may want to apply for a couple state universities? Being a 40ish freshman is kinda wild.

I guess main starter questions:

1. Any dependents that you'd pass the GI Bill onto?
2. Do you have severe enough disabilities that you'd expect a 30%+ more disability rating?
3. What do you see yourself doing? What do you want to do? Is it in your career field from the service, or do you want to do something new?
4. Are you planning to work full-time while in school, or can you afford to commit to school totally by itself?


Basic advice is get your certificate of eligibility, ask tons of questions, realize that some very helpful people will inevitably give you some bad and wrong advice sprinkled in with good advice.

Yeah let me mention that Adult Student Syndrome is real and you don't wanna be that guy.

Occasionally you're forced to be (my low point was chewing out a group project teammate in pajama pants for his 8 AM Intro to Management class and pointing to the four Chinese kids that had been there for 30 minutes already studying "that's your competition, you think you're getting hired over them?"). But try not to make it every day.

I flunked out of college so bad at age 20 that when I applied at age 38, I was told to go to CC and get my GPA up. I ended up enjoying the hell out of it (even if I can't watch Community anymore because the janky echoes hit too close to home), and I got to slap this bumper sticker on my dad's truck

The prof I had for both my initial 300 level management class and the capstone class had a great grading system for group projects. He gave your project its own grade. Then you got to rank the contributions of your 3 teammates; you had 300 points to use, and could rank them from 80-110. This is how he came to your individual grade. So teams that had a deadbeat but overcame it actually got better grades than an equivalent project where everyone contributed.
